Guess what? We're building a 3D printer!!! I know there are already way too many 3D printer videos on YouTube, but this is going to be a rather special one! In fact, I'm on a budget of only $50, so I'm skipping the expensive NEMA 17 stepper motors everyone else uses entirely, instead relying on unipolar stepper motors salvaged from e-waste like old laser printers, photocopyers and typewriters!
This is going to be a rather unusual in-depth video series on the engineering and the design challenges of a super-cheap homemade wooden 3D printer with a print volume of 330x240x240 millimeters, in an attempt to get a little diversity into the 3D printing space.
In this project introduction video I show you the concept I spent the last couple of months developping, and explain the background of my decision to suddenly build one, even though I personally don't like 3D printing.
Here are some affiliate links to the parts I got for this printer:
20pcs V-groove ball bearings: [ Ссылка ]
5pcs A4988 stepper motor drivers: [ Ссылка ]
Cheapy hotend kit: [ Ссылка ]
Arduino mega 2560: [ Ссылка ]
PLA filament: [ Ссылка ]
4010 turbine fan: [ Ссылка ]
100k NTC temperature sensor for heated bed: [ Ссылка ]
10m nylon coated fishing line: [ Ссылка ]
Keep in mind I got a few of these items during sale, so the total might well be above $50 now (especially with inflation)
