3D Printer Design and Build

grabcad

I started learning FreeCAD on a very part-time basis almost a year ago (2014) and at that time I decided that the best way to learn was through a project. So I set out to design my own 3D printer! Every time I bought a part for the printer, I modeled it using FreeCAD. Now, the printer isn't "finished" quite yet but I think it's far enough along that people can appreciate the quality of it's current state and find it useful even now. I will also upload all the parts I modeled individually as well. Most of the models were made back when I was a complete beginner but you might notice that the quality improved on the ones I modeled most recently. As you can see, all of them were of high enough quality that I used them in the assembled 3D printer.
