Need HELP Building 3D Printer

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago

Hi, Guys

 

I need help with building a 3d printer. I would like to know what parts I need and all the pieces of wood I will need. I would like to build a robot similar to the portable 3D printer on The Ben Heck Show. I tried navigating the file that there is to cut some of the parts but i seem to get lost quite easily so wondering if anyone has simpler file to cut the wood.

 

Please list the parts. It will be great if you can also give me links to thus parts.

 

Lastly i want the ai file to cut the wood.

 

Regards,

Yogi

    Hi Yogdip Raghvani

     

    The Arduino Materia 101 - KIT could give you an aproximate idea of the list of components... and its mount manual some others ideas of how much wood pieces you could need.

     

    Sorry, I dont know any other complete list of pieces.

    wel the parts which i have observed in most of the printers are an arduino kit, stepper motors, some guide rods for the axial movements, wood for frame, heating plate, and some bearings and nuts and bolts for joints etc.

    you can find some help on youtube as well

    for example you may check this video
