Nate do you build your own 3d printers?
Hey Daniel
Yes I do build my own 3d printers. I have built 5 so far.
Nate
Can I set you a challenge build a tiny tiny one that fiits on a desk ?
Hey Daniel
I would check out this link as most printers will fit on a desk without a problem. http://www.reprap.org/wiki/RepRap_Options.
Nate
Imean stupid small
Hey Daniel
I suppose you could make it small but then what do you plan on printing with it. Having a smaller printer means you have a smaller print area. I always seem to run out of room with my current printers so going smaller would be questionable to me. If you plan on printing really small objects I could see this but why limit yourself. I would be more than happy to help you out if you would like to build one.
Nate
Smaller means cheaper and I'm on a budget of about 100GBP which means I should save but I only need to print about 5 cm high and 4 wide
iam geting http://makibox.com/details/product/A6-LT and i want to mod to link it to a notebook and 3d scaner
Hey Daniel
To build a printer for 100GBP($153) is going to be hard to do. The cheapest i have been able to build a printer for was around $300 and thats because i was able to print all the parts off another printer i owned. The printer Billy posted is a little over your budget bud not far off.
Nate
Hey Billy
When you say mod it what exactly do you mean? To get it to work with a notebook all you do is plug it into the usb port same goes for the 3d scanner.
