Building a DIY large bed 3D printer

[Icky]

This is for sure the only 3D printer specifically designed and constructed to print out ST cases

Great work, I am really looking forward to see the finished thing

Thanks. It's going to take time as I mentioned I have messed up my current printer putting in a new board and need to print a few more pieces out. Also its a bit of a modify on the go build as the dimensions are outside of a supported build for the Voron its based on.

I too can't wait to see it do its first ST case print.

Looking good so far Icky, will be looking forward to seeing it working in person at some point.

Moved onto the bottom of the printer and started to place some of the boards in. I have the Z drive steppers out as I am having some new parts kindly printed by PhilC whilst my current printer is still trying to recover from a new mainboard replacement. I know, I shouldn't have too many projects on the go at once.

With this size printer there is plenty of space for the Duet 2 and Duex 5 and will need to start putting in the PSU's, Raspberry Pi etc etc.

I better hurry up and print the last two lots then.

XY gantry belts now all in place with the toolhead block showing the Z-probe. Next task to start wiring and testing things are working as expected.

I'll be impressed if it can produce ceramic mugs.

I'll be impressed if it can produce ceramic mugs.

I would be too That would be a very interesting market.

Most important thing for the printer is making sure you have the right boot logo on your screen

Printed parts arrived from PhilC this morning (much appreciated PhilC), now need to clean them up and get the Z drive area sorted.

Good choice with the Duet and Duex. I hear they are worth the higher price.
