My personal twist on the excellent Hypercube 3d printer by Tech2c
My goal of this project was to make it bigger and generally more heavy duty, because it got bigger it would also take way longer to print something that's why I opted for a E3d Volcano with a nozzle size of 0.6 - 1.2 for faster and stronger prints.
This is currently the MK4 version of the machine and it changed a lot over it's lifespan till the point that I'm finally happy with it. So that's why I decide to make a public release so that people all over the world could make one. I made most of the parts from innofil PLA which is much stronger then regular PLA, petg was a little to flexible for my taste but it will also work.
That's enough chitchat from me let's look at the stats of this printer.
Build volume X 300 Y290 Z 520
Speeds up to 100mm/s have been tested and succeeded, remember Speed > accuracy.
It uses a silicon heater for the build plate which gets to 65 in about 2-4 min.
If you have any questions feel free to ask but please read the documentation first ;)
It got pics to help assembly which help when followed, pro tip use the assembled bed to help install the z axis assembly ;)
Look at the BOM for all the parts required
Edit: 10/7/17
Made some changes to the firmware and slicer setting if you're using Simplify there is a profile for it now :)

MK4S now up
