Hi,
I just wanted to share my self designed and build reprap with the community! Driven by a RAMPS 1.4, self made extruder and an E3D hotend. Works like a charm! Printing quality is top notch! Download the STL files and the parts list from the link. If you want to build one, let me know and I can help you
Let me know what you think
Well Done! Looks pretty clean and organised!! could you share more details about size and capabilities?! seems having a lot of printed parts!! I Like It!!!
I’d love to see a sample print too
Wow, the quality is really impressive! Congrats
Yes. Its good for a reprap I think
It is truly a beauty! Was it really EUR280? And how much did it take to assemble? This really puts things into perspective. Glad you shared this here.
It really was 280€ I wanted to keep costs down. Assembled it in a half day, pretty fast. Allot snaps into place wich makes it fast to build and also rebuild/change things. I kept costs low by designing my own extruder, using as much printed parts as possible and searching the net after cheap but durable parts. The whole project was about a month, because I had to wait for all the pieces and bits to arrive from China. Now it’s running every day for several hours and I haven’t noticed anything to redo, so very happy! I also designed some belt tensioners, because I didn’t want to use tie rips. With my belt tensioners you can change the tension with a screw, well that’s easy It’s also super silent, even at high speeds. It’s printing more then my 700€ printer these days. I’m thankful to my school, because that’s where I learned how to CAD draw things. I still want to make allot things, like a CNC machine, wich I’m working on now. But I’m only 15 years old, so enough time left
Great work! What material did you use for the printed parts?
Just Velleman PLA, I first thought that would give problems printing at higher temperature. Printed Carbon Fiber with it without any issues! It’s a workhorse
Wow! Impressive! What material are the parts made of? Are you going to share the CAD files?
Just Velleman PLA, I first thought that would give problems printing at higher temperature. Printed Carbon Fiber with it without any issues!
I’m not going to upload them to thingiverse or something I think, but I can always share them if someone is interested in them.
What CAD program did you make them in? I am currently planning to build a new printer and maybe design parts myself if necessary. But the D-Bot definitely looks interesting.
Where are the plans published for this ??
The printer looks very nice. As I have Printrbot Simple Metal, I recognise the main design approach. But there is a spacious bed which I have to envy.
Haha, thanks!
It has allot of printed parts, that also was my intention! Printing speeds for PLA are 60mm/s wich is pretty fast. It has an heated bed. I printed PLA and Colorfabb XT-CF20 on this printer, both with outstanding results. Price for this printer to build was about 280€ wich is fairly cheap I think. I added some print examples in the attachments
I would be interested in seeing the materials list including the printed files, if you were willing that is. But if you are not then that’s too bad. I would love to have a more portable machine that I could travel around with.
I would also be interested!
