Newer version using belts: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2387735 Mostly Printed 3D Printer Optimized to Print ABS. The XY mechanism is of my own devising and as far as I can find it is brand new. It is a combination of ideas taken from the Ultimaker gantry and Richard Horne's Sli3dr Printer but I believe better and simpler than either. 3D Printer Features: Features Genuine E3D V6 hotend and graphic controller at $350 price point. Modular construction. Size can be adjusted by adding or removing modules. More area inside printer is usable as print area compared to many other designs. All motors outside of build area to allow heated chamber. Integrated cable management for clean look. Nearly all parts 3D printed, easily enclosed for printing ABS. Innovative XY mechanism with excellent accuracy and low parts cost. XY can use belts or filament and round or other linear rails (this version uses filament and round rails). Can use bowden or direct extruder (this version uses bowden). Avoidance of over-constrained x and y axis ease build tolerances. Orientation of parts for printing is left to the user. Refer to parts list, included jpegs and pictures zip file for helpful assembly hints. No assembly instructions currently so I suggest you not attempt this printer unless you are handy. Please let me know if you find errors. If you would like to see build instruction videos and hood/enclosure design, let me know.
