Last crawled date: 4 years, 1 month ago

Taking the community feedback into consideration, this is iteration v2.0 of the Mini Beast 3D printer. Your feedback is important to resolve any issue or make any improvements in all aspects, performance, ease of use and maintenance!
Thanks for supporting this project!
p.s : files for the acrylic enclosure will soon be posted, just tidying up electronics and deciding on positioning. you might have to edit the panel that holds the electronics to match whatever specific electronics you use, or print adapters to fit them on :)

Parts for the 300mm model (300mmx300mmx300mm):
2 x 450mm 2040 extrusions

4 x LMH8LUU 8mm Linear Bearing for Z Axis
2 x 8mm Lead Screw 370mm for Z axis
I now use a Fysetc 24V 300W bed (NOT recommended, magnets fall off it while printing ABS)
PSU, choose an appropriate unit depending on the bed and hotend voltage you use
5M GT2 Belt and 2 Pulleys ( I recommend the Gates belts and pulleys / idlers
8 x LM10UU Bearings (Recommended: Misumi)
1 x SKR V1.3 or v1.3 Pro (Duet is highly recommended as it's expandable for toolchanging but more expensive)
3 x DRV8825 Stepper Drivers (Z, Z, E)
2 x TMC2208 Stepper Drivers (X, Y)
5 x NEMA 17 Motors (2 driving the bed can be long ones with higher torque)
1 x E3D v6 Full Metal (Can be either bowden or direct, 1.75mm/3mm, your choice)
1 x E3D Titan Extruder (Need 2 for dual colour and an extra NEMA 17!)
6 x 5mm ID 6mm belt toothed Idlers
2 x 5mm ID 6mm belt smooth Idlers
For the 400 model, just add 100mm to all of the extrusions, rods and the lead screws.
