Pegasus Touch Laser SLA 3D Printer

Posted by Unknown Sabtu, 04 Januari 2014 0 komentar




Full Spectrum Lasers is developing this laser SLA 3d printer. Lasers are way to go. This is also a great example how advancements in one technology, like cheap blue ray laser diodes, leads to advancement in another technology like 3d printing.

Technical specifications:
  • 3D Technology: 405nm scanning galvo laser liquid resin stereolithography
  • Build area: up to 7”x7”x9” (177x177x228mm)
  • Case Footprint: 11"x14"x22.5" (280x360x571mm) 
  • Processor: Built in 1GHz Linux computer with 512mB memory and 4.3” Touchscreen LCD Interfaces: Ethernet, USB, WiFi (requires optional USB dongle) 
  • On Board Software: Built in on-board Internet Connected 3D Printer App Store (no computer required) 
  • Desktop Software: Tightly integrated multi-touch capable desktop software with automatic slicing and automatic breakaway support generation with manual editing support for Windows PC (Mac coming soon) 
  • Speed: up to 3000mm/sec (>10x faster than most FDM, up to 6x faster than other SLA)
  • Focused Laser Spot Size: ~250 microns 
  • XY Positioning Resolution: 16bit precision, ~3 micron 
  • Z Motor Resolution: ~5 micron (typical layer thickness 25-100 micron)

Pegasus Touch main features from Kickstarter page:
  • Touchscreen LCD desktop 3D printer starting <$2k using LASER based tech for high speed prints, 7"x7"x9" build area, and detail.
  • As designers and engineers, we have found lasers and 3D printers to be amazing tools. Naturally, we wanted to combine the two and build a 3D Printer with lasers! Thanks to the wide adpotion of Bluray players, low cost near UV laser diodes which can cure liquid resin are now readily available making high quality 3D printers a reality. 
  • Using software/electronics technology developed for our laser cutting/engraving products, we’ve perfected an affordable high quality laser based Stereolithography (SLA) 3D Printer that sets a new standard for desktop 3D printing for every maker and maker to be. Starting below $2000 on Kickstarter, Pegasus Touch produces by far the best quality 3D printing output for its price.
  • Speed: Controlling lasers properly takes years of experience. Pegasus Touch’s advanced control electronics can pulse its laser source at over 500kHz while moving the laser beam at 3000mm/sec thanks to the same special FSL real-time laser processor used in $100,000 scanning laser systems. Faster laser control allow us to tune the resin to cure more quickly without sacrificing quality allowing for up to 10x the speed of FDM printers and 3-5x the speed of other SLA printers.
  • Output Quality: Nearly all current low desktop 3D printers below $3000 use FDM technology but Laser based SLA technology has set the gold standard for quality since it was invented in the 1980s. Due to finer control offered by laser technology, the finish of laser based SLA printers is just better.
  • Affordability: Starting below $2000, Pegasus Touch is the lowest cost assembled SLA printer available – it’s even less expensive than many leading consumer FDM printers. Pretested, fast, high quality resin is available at only $100/liter.
  • Standalone Ease of Use: Other low cost printers transfer several gigabytes of post processed data from a tethered PC. Pegasus Touch has an on-board Linux computer that can do much of the 3D processing computation on the printer itself. Typical transfer file sizes are only a few megabytes so it never needs to be tethered to another computer. 
  • By putting a full internet connected touchscreen computer right into the printer, FSL3D has been able to build a 3D Printer App Store right on the printer. Find high quality, pretested models right from the printer itself - no more digging endlessly or tweaking to find perfect printable 3D models.

Zion16 low cost large print volume DIY 3d printer

Posted by Unknown Selasa, 31 Desember 2013 0 komentar


Big and Cheap!

From Zion16 Kickstarter campaign page:
The goal is to create and mass produce large scale 3D printers in a sort-of self replicating fashion. I am working on completing the 16" prototype which will be capable of printing enormous objects up to 16"x16"x32"(see below).
I want to keep these printers affordable because I feel they need to be in the hands of creators and people who would use them to innovative.
Unfortunately 3d printers of this size cost around $1200 so I want to do better. I want to make and produce these printers for under $800 and make it so that they are both easy to use and affordable. I have been working with 3d Printers for about 2 years now and it has consumed all of my time. I am constantly tweaking or coming up with a new way of doing something with 3D printing.
Zion16 is developed by Ryan Manley

DeltaTrix has sturdy CNC cut full wood frame construction

DeltaTrix print results



























There are some similar detailed build guides for Delta printers like this one if you are interested in building different model:

http://diy3dprinting.blogspot.com/2013/09/extensive-roctock-delta-building.html

Update:

It is on Kickstarter now:

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1142241325/deltatrix-3d-printer-open-source-and-fully-hackabl


Technical specifications described in Kickstarter campaign:
The theoretical printing area is 280mm (11 inch) in diameter. As a square this works out as (almost) 200x200mm (8"x8"), which suits the used 'MK2A' heated bed. As it is also useful to be able to remove items, the gap between the uprights is just over 295mm. The maximum build height is around 280mm (11").
Main features:
  • Linear delta robot layout provides a mechanically simple motion platform for moving the print head only, not the workpiece.
  • Using a LCD display and SD memory card (supplied in our kits), the DeltaTrix 3D Printer can operate on it's own. It does not need to be attached to a computer.
  • There are several (Open Source) options in terms of software. At the moment we are using Repetier on the PC, a modified version of Marlin as the firmware on the RAMPS electronics, and the standard Arduino IDE for tweaking the firmware.
  • A heated bed with glass print surface, allows for PLA and ABS to be used as filament.
  • In terms of filament, the DeltaTrix 3D Printer is designed to accept 1.75mm PLA and ABS on a variety of 1kg reels, as long as it is of good quality.
  • Igus linear slides with pretension are used, providing a robust and durable bearing solution from a highly reputable manufacturer. The strengthening ribs on the uprights keep the rails straight and sturdy.
  • The current design print head assembly uses a single Reprappro Hot End, with a nozzle size of 0.3 or 0.5mm. The assembly also has a fan and integrated duct for cooling the top of a print.
  • Quick changeover print head assembly. Useful for swapping between two print head assemblies, eg. one for ABS and one for PLA. The prototypes use connection blocks, but the kit will have proper connectors. Please, note: the standard kit only contains parts for one off print head assembly.

Snap 3d printer with easy assembly HDPA frame

Posted by Unknown Kamis, 19 Desember 2013 0 komentar




The main feature of this 3d printer is very easy assembly without complicated fasteners or tools due to modular interlocking design of its HDPA (high density polyethylene) frame.




























From Snap 3d printer Kickstarter description:

The Snap3D project:
We wanted to design the best 3D printer that will be fast to assemble and to print high quality parts.

The assembling process doesn't required technical background. That will open the door to many users still afraid to build their own printer or who don't want to deal with complex design (cutting parts, electronics, soldering).
The printer's frame is extremely strong and doesn't required the use of fasteners thanks to our one year design innovation and the quality of the material. Indeed, from our first prototype in wood to our final product in plastic, the printer is just one of the best design and most appealing 3D printer with choice of the frame's color.

One of our dream is to have the printer as a platform for innovations in 3D printing. This is why we've chosen the modular design. Advanced users, Makers, product designers will be able to customize their printer. One example is the Extruder's platform that can be easily removed and replaced with a different Extruder for liquid printing or dispensing (printing chocolate, sugar or food). The print bed is also modular for this purpose. They will be able to add a second Extruder for experimental dual printing. Our electronics will support this option too.
Features
  • No Soldering, Electronics & Wires snap together. 
  • The build volume is big: 8x8x8 inches 
  • ABS, PLA, Nylon 3 mm filament 
  • J Head nozzle
  • 100 micron layers resolution 
  • Stand alone with microSD input. 
  • LCD panel with control interface: No need to use your computer, laptop to control the printer, pause and reset buttons, navigation buttons, 
  • The Best heated bed for ABS: Helios bed 
  • LED light 
  • Easy and fast to assemble 
  • Software: Repetier, Pronterface or slic3r
  • The price for Snap 3D special kit starts at $799. If fully funded, the first batch of printers is expected to be shipped in March / April 2014.

    Solidator large volume DLP 3d printer

    Posted by Unknown 0 komentar
    Looks like the Form 1 is getting some (larger) DLP competition.


    From Solidator Kickstarter page:

    Size matters.
    Solidator features a huge build area that is 3-4 times larger than that of most other commercial stereolithography printers and even a lot higher than those of the most FDM printers. No longer will you be limited to small prints - the 588cm² print area yields objects that are truly massive by comparison.

    Speed sells.
    Whether you're rapid prototyping or simply impatient by nature, speed is king. Using DLP-Stereolithography and specially formulated materials, Solidator hardens an entire 0.1 mm layer all at once, without the typical moving heads or lasers that do nothing except waste your precious time. This makes Solidator the fastest liquid plastic resin printer around, without sacrificing quality.
    Resolution impresses.
    Solidator can print features as small as 270 microns (0.0106 inches) and layer heights of 100 microns (0.0039 inches). This leads to impressive results. Just compare the object resolution with my fingerprint:

    The Hardware

    The patent-pending design is realized in laser-cut steel parts, precision-cut aluminum profiles, linear guides, motors, optics, electronics, acrylics, and a special liquid plastic resin container. All parts are sourced from the USA and Europe and will be assembled and tested here. The machine will be shipped preassembled to you with minimal final assembly required.
    We've tried to take ease of use to a whole new level. Solidator supports Wireless LAN, Ethernet and USB keys so there is always a convenient way to get your 3D model onto the device no matter where you work. And with a built in 3.2” touch screen for user interaction, you can even print without a computer handy. As a light source we use a high power DLP projector that is calibrated and fully automated. There is no dangerous laser that requires you to wear safety glasses. The red protection cover helps to keep away sunlight from the liquid plastic and should be used whenever possible to extend the life of the material.
    Technical Specifications
    • Build Volume: 280x210x200 mm (11.02"x 8,26"x7,87")
    • Z-Motor resolution: 10 microns (0.000393")
    • Typical layer height: 100 microns (0.00393")
    • Minimal layer height depends on the material used. 
    • The Z-Motor is able to go down to 10 microns layers. We will write an update on the actual value for each material. Expect this to be around 30 microns.
    • XY-resolution: 270 microns (0.01063")
    • Number of Voxels in Build Volume: More than 1.5 Billion Voxels
    • Speed: 10 seconds per 0.1 mm Layer
    • Footprint: 620x600x480 mm (24.4"x23.6"x18.7")
    • 3.2" Touch Screen supports standalone printing
    • Job transfer methods: Wireless LAN, Ethernet, USB
    • Software support: Windows XP/7/8, MAC OS X, Linux
    The Software
    The printer comes with Solidator Studio, our software solution for 3D rapid prototyping. You can open 3D models in “.STL”, “.OBJ” and “.3DS” format and place them into the scene to print. The software includes an industry leading GPU-accelerated slicer and automated support generation. Files can be transferred to the printer via WiFi, LAN or USB Stick. The software is tested on and available for Windows XP/7/8.x, Mac OSX and Linux Ubuntu.

    The Materials
    We have developed a special liquid plastic resin (similar to nail polish) with our resin providers. The prints in the pictures are printed with these resins that are specially designed for Solidator. Resin prices start at an industry leading $50 USD per liter (excluding shipping) and will be available from our partners. Compare that to some other stereolithographic printers that charge $150+/liter, and you'll see the advantage of Solidator.
    The Solidator Resin we currently use is extremely hard, too. The hardness of the printed parts (at 0.1mm layer height) is 85D (shore hardness) - this is about the same value as PLA (about 85D) and more harder than ABS (about 75D) and certainly harder than POM (about 80D). The melting point of the printed parts is about 110°C (230 °F).

    Cartesian Co EX¹ desktop electronic circuits printer

    Posted by Unknown Minggu, 15 Desember 2013 0 komentar



    From Kickstarter descrption:
    The Cartesian Co. printer EX¹ transforms electronics and prototyping in the same way that 3D printing has made things possible that were inconceivable even 5 years ago.
    The EX¹ printer is not designed to create any 3D object like normal 3D printers. It’s been crafted and designed for one key purpose, to allow you to 3D print circuit boards, layering silver nano particles onto paper or any suitable surface to rapidly create a circuit board. In 2011, an article in Wired said that within two years 3D printers could print electronic circuits. Two years to the day, we’re announcing the EX¹, a printer that allows you to rapidly 3D print circuit boards.
    The process is as easy as clicking File > Print. This lets you create electronics, just as you've envisioned - wearable electronics, paper circuits, printed computers or whatever you imagine. A 3D printer creates the objects of your imagination; the EX¹ lets you create the electronics of your imagination.
    Wearable circuits

    One capability of the EX¹ we're really excited about is the ability to print straight onto fabric. Anyone who has used conductive thread will tell you how frustrating it is when the thread breaks but you can't find the break! With the EX¹ you can print circuits straight onto the material of your choice.

    How it works

    The reason we created the EX¹ is simple; we got sick of making PCBs by hand. We got so sick we set out to find a way to make circuits quickly and effortlessly.
    The basic principle of operation is simple. Two inkjet cartridges similar to the ones in your desktop printer print images on a substrate, but instead of ink they lay down two different chemicals. When these two chemicals mix, a reaction occurs to produce silver nano particles, leaving a silver image on the substrate.

    After a year of working on the EX¹ we believe we've finally created a printer that will allow people to design and make radically new things. With a print area of 17.5 x 8cm (6.9 x 3.2in) you'll be able to print boards well above the size of what you can design in the free version of Eagle. At a size of 43 X 32 X 17cm (17 x 12.6 x 6.7in) its roughly the same size as your Canon or Epson printer at home. Weighing in at only 6kg (13.5lb) it's very portable and will be perfect to take to work or your local hackerspace.

    Software

    How hard is it to use your home printer or office photocopier? Not hard (we hope), and that's exactly what we've aimed for with our software.
    But of course printing electronics isn't exactly the same as printing a cute baby photo. We give you complete flexibility with our software, anything from just importing an image and clicking print, all the way through to having control over every printing variable.
    We've included presets and tools to make getting into making electronics as easy as possible, while at the same time allowing experienced pros to push the boundaries of what can be done.

    Materials

    As well as making it easy for people to create complex circuits we wanted to make it easier to put them together. You can always solder the circuits but if you're not at that stage yet we've been successfully using conductive glues that's as easy as finger painting. In fact, when you use it with a paper circuit it almost IS finger painting!
    We're developing new ways of treating and coating everyday materials to be printed on, so there's nothing holding you back from creating whatever your heart desires.
    The materials you can print onto is only half of the equation. Equally important are the inks you're using to do so. We're actively working on new ink formulations and processes to ensure using your printer is as easy and reliable as possible.

    The inks we are using are very safe and we won't be gouging you for refills like some printer companies out there (we hate that too!).

    I expected more DIY solutions for electronic circuit printing until now. Maybe they will come in future. This product will also compete with small DIY cnc mills / routers that can cut out PCB boards.

    Luminar Products 3D Super Extruder enables you to 3d print with industrial grade plastic welding filament

    Posted by Unknown 0 komentar
    Powerful large extruder project that enables you to 3d print with industrial grade plastic welding filament in several materials like: PVDF, PVC 1, PVC 2 & CPVC, Polyethylene, HMW and Polycarbonate.




    From Kickstarter description:

    There are generally two types of thermoplastic that are available for filament type 3D printers, ABS and PLA plastics. These filaments are available in many colors and diameter sizes of 1.75mm & 3mm (0.070 & 0.118 inch). Currently these are pretty much the only sizes that can be used in these 3D printing machines. There are other types of thermoplastic available today that are available as an extruded filament however these have larger cross-sectional diameters of 0.125, 0.156 & 0.188 (3.18mm, 3.96mm and 4.76mm). These are sold as plastic welding rod and are typically used for joining sheets of plastic together. These larger diameter filaments come in many different types of plastic that have for the most part not been used by the 3D printing community. Many types of plastic welding rod are considerably less expensive per pound than the common printer filament of ABS and PLA. So if this material could be made to work in a plastic printer you could have a greater variety of plastics for printing and lower material cost. Our solution is to create a new extruder that can be fitted to existing 3D printers to enable these printers to use all of these different diameters of filament and handle the wider range of processing temperatures for the different thermoplastics.
    We have already built 3 versions of our NEMA 23 extruder so far with improvements being incorporated to each new version. We have run the extruders with various materials and are convinced we have a good product here. Our plan is to manufacture our extruders in two sizes. A large extruder driven by a NEMA 23 stepper motor and a smaller version driven by a NEMA 17 stepper motor. The larger version will be able to run all of the filament sizes from 1.75mm to 4.76mm (0.070 to 0.188 inch). The smaller version will run filament sizes 1.75mm to 3mm (0.070 to 0.118 inch). The heater block of our extruders and the nozzles are made from copper for faster and more stable temperature control. Several nozzle sizes will be available for printing various sizes and types of parts.

    Our latest version of this extruder is larger than current extruders and has design improvements to allow it to take advantage of the higher temperature ranges required by the various types of thermoplastic available in the larger diameter sizes. These plastics have properties that will greatly enhance a 3D printer's usefulness by allowing it to make parts that can be used in many different environments.
    The following are some of the types of common thermoplastic welding rod along with several uses and properties that would make them an attractive candidate for a 3D printed part.
    PVDF Chemical restiveness of PVDF and its long lasting strength will make this a popular choice for laboratories or clean-rooms where tanks, tank furniture, fittings or cassettes could be made quickly from a computer library of components or as needed from a 3D CAD drawing for a custom application.
    PVC 1, PVC 2 & CPVC with their ability to withstand UV would be great for any sort of outdoor applications or unique PVC pipe fittings. These materials also resist acids and alkalies and are commonly used in chemical processing applications.
    Polypropylene makes parts with a hard surface and resists many chemicals and solvents. One interesting use for this material is its ability to make parts that have a living hinge on them, like used on the lid of a Tic-Tac candy box. It is also commonly used in clean rooms for chemical benches, tanks and enclosures.

    Polyethylene available in low or high density formulations are very resistant to moisture as well as many chemicals.
    HMW makes parts with a slippery surface useful for many industrial applications such as chain guides or rollers. It has excellent impact strength and good wear resistance.
    Polycarbonate is synonymous with impact resistance. This transparent material has excellent impact resistance over a wide temperature range. Parts made from this plastic would have great strength and flexibility.
    Our extruders, are of course, not limited to these materials and can also extrude ABS, PLA, any of the Taulman filaments, nylon, PETT, HIPS, PVA and others from 1.75mm diameter to 4.75mm diameters (0.070 to 0.188 inch). Many of these materials have previously not been available to the 3D printer community. It is our hope that this extruder will change that and be a benefit to all 3D printer owners who need parts with better strength, chemical resistance, UV resistance or other properties that these various plastics can provide.
    Why are we so proud of our extruders?
    • Very compact design with a mid mounted, integrated heat sink for better cooling of both filament drive parts and stepper motor.
    • Extremely solid one piece aluminum body with mounting options on top, bottom or either side.
    • Copper heater block and nozzle for faster, more stable temperature control.
    • Plans for making two sizes of extruder, a NEMA 17 stepper motor size for smaller 3D printing machines or the larger, more powerful NEMA 23 stepper motor extruder for larger, faster moving 3D printers.
    • Precision quality, our extruders feature a spring loaded dual wheel filament drive mechanism for positive filament control. The drive wheels are made from steel and are hobbed for traction.
    • Our NEMA 23 extruders will be able to accommodate 5 filament sizes (1.75mm, 3mm, 1/8, 5/32 and 3/16 inch diameter filaments) and multiple plastic options with nozzle options for various materials and extrude diameters.

    Robox 3d printer

    Posted by Unknown Rabu, 20 November 2013 0 komentar
    Great design, lot of marketing hype and some interesting features.








    Key features from Kickstarter page:

    Frame and Case Design - The quality of printing is predominantly dependent on the resolution and accuracy of the motion axes. The printer must be capable of composing accurate layers of plastic material layer after layer to produce a usable part. We have designed Robox® from scratch, ensuring the frame and motion systems are extremely rigid and accurately positioned. All motors and axes are attached to a single stainless steel frame which is a reference surface for all motion; this is rigidly attached to injection moulded parts which form the body of the printer to create a super-stable platform.

    We wanted all our cutting-edge innovation to have a suitably high quality sleek exterior finish. We’ve used high quality materials including anodised aluminium and clear polycarbonate to give the printer a clean stylish look that would be at home on any desk. Our industrial design aim was to hide all the technology required for movement and printing but still exhibit the magical process of 3D printing to the user. We think Robox® is beautiful, with clear views of what’s being manufactured from over half the surfaces. The filament reel and power supply have been integrated into the product, so we have no messy external parts to clutter your desk and take up more space.

    A fully self contained unit with a small desktop footprint.
    Speed - Dual Nozzle System - Robox® includes a proprietary dual-nozzle system which can improve print speeds by up to 300% when set against our competitors. A single material feed can be directed out of one of two nozzles – with a 0.3mm or 0.8mm extrusion diameter. This means Robox® can produce highly detailed exterior surfaces for the surfaces you can see, and then quickly fill the object using the larger nozzle multiple layers at a time without affecting part strength or detail. This combined with a needle-valve system stops ‘ooze’ and ‘stringing’ from the nozzles - a problem commonly found in other printers. So now you can finally have the best of both worlds – a perfect high quality exterior finish with much faster print times!

    300% increase in print speed thanks to the Robox® Dual Nozzle Print Head
    Automatic Material Recognition - Robox® requires no programming for different materials – just load the reel and go! Each reel contains a chip which stores all the necessary parameters for the material which have been thoroughly tested, so as soon as you install the reel, the printer is automatically programmed and ready to print.

    SmartReel™ - Each reel of filament has an EEPROM which contains material data to allow Robox® to automatically set print parameters.
    Quick-Change Print-head - Our HeadLock™ System allows you to change the function of Robox® quickly and easily. From the outset of this project we've made the product easily upgradeable, so the head contains a universal interface that will work with all future upgrades to the Robox® platform, including a 2 material head, stylus cutter, milling head and 3D scanner, the possibilities are endless!

    Swap the head and turn this micro manufacturing platform into a different machine altogether
    Replaceable, 'Tape-less' and Removable PEI Bed - Once your print has finished you are free to remove your model from the printer. The print surface itself is also easily removable - allowing for easy replacement or dismounting of models away from the printer, or for switching to alternative beds e.g. a stylus cutting mat, milling fixture system or turntable for the 3D scanning head. To ensure that your bed is always perfectly flat for 3D printing when Robox® is configured as an FFF system, the print surface is constructed from PEI laminate material, which requires no tape, glues or special preparation. Prints stick fast while printing, and then release themselves once complete.

    Heated Bed with Removable Print Surface - Certain models and materials benefit from different print surfaces. The small cutout section on the front right of the bed allows easy removal.
    Enclosed Build Chamber - Robox® has the option of a fully-enclosed build envelope for stabilising the printing environment, improving results and making it safer. When a printed part cools (particularly when made from ABS) unevenly or too rapidly, it shrinks unevenly, causing warp cracks and de-lamination. Our enclosure serves several purposes; prevents outside thermal influences affecting your print by blocking draughts and keeping the internal temperature stable, and shields users from surfaces that are too hot to touch.

    Test print: ABS 78x10x5mm - Draft quality -This test print using ABS in our closed build chamber shows no shrinkage or warping even when the bed and part have cooled.
    Expandable for 2 Extruders - Robox® is ready for a second extruder; so coupled with a dual material head (currently in development), you will be able to print two different materials at the same time – whether this is just two colours of the same material, or a build material and separate support material.

    AutoMaker™ Proprietary Software - Rather than bundle Robox® with the usual selection of Open Source software, we’ve decided to develop our own so we can take advantage of the many innovative hardware features already designed into our Robox® platform. This further enhances the simplicity and usability of the printer for both experts and novices alike. This has been designed from scratch so the consumer can become the manufacturer from day one, we want everyone to be able to create their world.
    Automaker™ Beta 2.0 - A clear and simple status page
    Simplicity with Depth - Ease-of-use is at the heart of the design of Robox®, but for those of you more experimentally inclined – don’t fear! We have divided the software into simple and advanced modes, so for those of you who don’t want to ‘tweak’, just place your parts and print. Advanced mode will allow more experienced users to alter all parameters of the printer manually. Once you are happy with a print profile you can save it for future use - repeatable high quality printing, another goal of the Robox® project.

    R-360 simple open source polar 3d printer

    Posted by Unknown Sabtu, 16 November 2013 0 komentar


    R-360 features:
    • Cheap when compared to any other existing printers with a large printing area and speed. This must make more people easier to have it.
    • Our 3D printer consists of far fewer parts. Compared to RepRap, it contains only one third of the parts. So it's really easy to build it even if you are a beginner. We assemble the main parts of the printer, saving you from all the hard work, so you can be up and running in one hour. No soldering necessary, just plug the main parts together with a few bolts and you’re ready to print! We will upload all instruction on our website.
    • The bed is a disc and turns 360 degrees. This is unique and fun! Also this keeps the bed perfectly level using a unique leveling system. We invented this bed shape to get rid of extra bearings, belts, rods and plastic parts.
    • The rotating bed makes it ideal for 3D scanning applications. Scanning turntable mode is included (3rd party scanner is required)
    • We are planning colourful printers, such as orange, sky blue, pink and light green. We also have white and black. This very cute 3D printer would compliment your rooms’ decoration.
    • Light but robust! You can travel with it easily! You can take it apart and build it again easily, folding it up into a small, flat traveling size in minutes.
    • Fully Modular, we designed it so very easy to change and upgrade any of its parts.

    Future plans for R-360:
    • Cloud Printing upgrade. Using your Raspberry Pi, you will be able to send prints directly from the internet to your 3D printer, turning it into a networked (wifi if your Raspberry Pi supports it) 3D printer! (Separate Raspberry Pi is required)
    • We are planning to add separate 3D scanner upgrade. The disc shaped bed allows us to create for you the next step in 3D printing: the 3D copying machine! A 3D scanner will be able to scan an object and then the 3D printer reproduce it.
    • Multi colour printing. Multi colour or multi material upgrade.
    • Modular Upgrades: a larger printing area; 30cm printing bed and 30cm printing height, plotter & paste extruder heads, and 3D scanning apparatus.

    3d printing PetBot:



    As a dog owner (of very very naughty dog) I see the full benefit of this project. I'll build it when it is available (I'v searched around but found no files or instructions). Theoretically it is easy to DIY a simillar project, but I'll wait little bit more ...
    Actually, my dog has some similarities to Atos, the lead dog tester.

    X-winder DIY carbon fiber wrapper or start of DIY carbon fiber 3d printing revolution

    Posted by Unknown Jumat, 08 November 2013 0 komentar
    X-winder wraps carbon fiber with epoxy on rotating object. It lowers the price of carbon tubes and elements by up to 80% compared to market prices.

    When you look at it from broader perspective it is a from of 3d printer which prints with carbon fiber, it just needs to be upgraded and developed to be able to print non-rotating shapes with full x/y/z movement or at least to reinforce ABS/PLA parts with carbon fiber applied on their surface.

    There were similar solutions on the beginning of DIY 3d printing machines development like this 3d printer which printed silicone on rotating tube:

    http://diy3dprinting.blogspot.com/2013/10/from-diy-3d-printing-history-1-silicone.html

    There were successful applications of epoxy surface glued Kevlar and carbon fibers on regular ABS/PLA 3d printed parts which gave them amazing strength:

    http://diy3dprinting.blogspot.com/2013/06/carbon-and-kevlar-fiber-reinforced-3d.html

    For next level in carbon printing we need to bring those concepts in a single machine.
    Hopefully there will be someone to develop this idea further.
