Large format - print area: 300W x 280D x 230H
Low cost (utilising recycled e-waste)
Compressed aluminium tube frame and xyx-axis (extremely rigid, light weight)
Z-axis stabilisation incorporated in frame design, preventing z-axis vibration/movement under high x-carriage accelerations
High power heat bed using cheap ceramic resistors (hence the two old PC power supplies)
Scaled up version has also been built, 400W x 300D x 400H
Included Sketch-up design can easily be modified for different sizes etc (not limited by standard heat bed/linear bearing dimensions etc)
Designed to utilise recycled printer, PC and general e-waste components which were supplied by Substation 33 (e-waste recycler here in Brisbane Australia)
The total component cost excluding recycled components was around $200 AUD, major cost component came from nuts, bolts, screws and threaded rods
New version 2.01 design has been completed and printed (currently under construction) new design focus was on maximising recycled components, price estimate for new v2.01 design is well under $100 AUD, will hopefully be uploaded within the next month or two
My personal goal is to see some of the millions of PC's, office printers and general e-waste turned into 3D printers, enabling disadvantaged people access to very low cost 3D printers
