Hello,
The goal of this project is to create a compact 3D printer, where printing volume is as close as possible to the overall volume of the printer.
My assumptions:
Ultimaker-like head movement mechanism,
standard components, easy to obtain (pulleys, rods, belts, bearings etc.)
Stationary heatbed - gantry moved also in Z direction
magnetic heatbed from Prusa MK2/MK3.
printing area: at least 200x200 mm, 220x200 already, 220 mm in Z direction. Size can be adapted.
printer size: 335x335x350 mm. Will fit IKEA Kallax bookshelf.
easy to create a closed chamber
stiff frame for fast printing
Bondtech direct extruder
Gantry is being moved up and down by a single motor (with gearing made of pulleys and belt). Will be dragged from all four sides.
3D touch for bed positioning.
only 2 belt loops.
The rods (linear rails) will also seve as vertical support for the frame. If it turns out, that the frame is not stiff enough, then I would use the supports made of alloy profiles. The power supply and the main board will be placed on the back side of the printer, between the motors.
I want to make the mechanisms as optimal as possible, but without compromises regarding printing speed - I want to make the printer as fast as possible as well :)
Stay tuned,
Fimek
