Really cool! How much did you spend on building this?

Erdrol · 2016-06-01T18:37:43.000Z

Amazing Job! You should send this to Ikea !!

Wamd · 2016-06-01T19:21:38.000Z

Thanks

I did think it would be cool if you could buy this from ikea in a kit.

Wamd · 2016-06-01T19:23:41.000Z

I spent £260 and am currently constructing the instructable one for under £200

Many thanks

How is the bed being supported with larger or heavier prints?

Wamd · 2016-06-01T23:27:51.000Z

Hi

The simple test I did was…

1) put on 2 x 1KG rolls of filament on the bed to test stability whilst moving and z Axis movement.

2) put on 1KG roll of filament right at the front of the bed mid print and observed 0.9 mm of movement in the layer.

given the machine could easily move with 2 kg and only 0.9mm of movement was evident the layer when 1kg of weight was added mid print, over the coarse of a large print the incremental weight increase would easily dissipate through the layers with no adverse affect. Please also bear in mind the 1kg was added right at the front edge of the bed giving an uneven weight distribution, (thinking on worse case scenario).

The z axis guide rods operate independently from the Y and X Axis and are using 12mm rod and bearings

Thanks for the question and hopes this helps to answer it.

When do you expect to have the instructable ready? I own three printers already, but I’m ready to build my own, and this is the one.

Shadrack · 2016-06-02T14:06:35.000Z

Looks good. I did the same, building an enclosure for an Prusa i3. Not as nice as what you have setup though. Great job.

That is huge and looking good. Looking forward for the £260 Guide and BOM.

Wamd · 2016-06-03T19:48:21.000Z

Thanks for your support.

instructable should be published shortly.

Wamd · 2016-06-03T19:49:39.000Z

Many thanks.

instructable will be published shortly.

Great job!!

luc1dni9htmare · 2016-06-04T11:24:05.000Z

Are the BOM list hard to find?

Wamd · 2016-06-04T21:24:05.000Z

All being well I hope to have the instructible published with in the next 10 days.

sorry if that’s a bit long but given the amazing interest this project now call PRINTTABLE is generating I want to ensure the instructible as easy to follow as possible.

Thanks for interest and comments and please build one as soon as it’s published.

Wamd · 2016-06-04T21:33:54.000Z

Most of the parts are available relatively easy. All parts will be available at the currently under construction site PRINTTABLE.com. The core premise is a total open source project at its core building on a worldwide common platform being the LACK Table range. The more modifications,developments and enhancements made the more the community will benefit.

thanks for the interest and your support.
