This project is for building a mini printer using recycled computer components. It's designed specifically for educational centers, where only a few components are needed to demonstrate how a 3D printer works. Based on this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yzv7WhZaNEI&feature=youtu.be Three DVD reader motors, preferably HP, are required as the X and Y spacers are designed to fit in them perfectly. A power source from a PC is also needed for the hotend. List of materials: - 3 DVD/CDROM units to be used as step-by-step motors - A 12V power source to feed the electronics - A control board for the motors, heater, and fan (A4988 driver): http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/bD9vwSjW - Three endstops: http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/bnpfIYZw - An extruder - Extruder motors - A hotend E3D V6 These last three components can be purchased in a pack (Type 3): http://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/bJBrTvYM
