3D Printer | Homemade - Part 3

Arduino 3D Printer | Homemade - Part 3
In the third part of Homemade 3D Printer, I completed connecting all 3D Printer electronics to the main RAMPS 1.4 Board and Upload the Marlin code the Arduino Mega.This video also shows how to generate G-Code and send it to your 3D Printer with Slic3r and Pronterface Softwares.I printed a 20mm Test cube, which came out to be a good print.I also modified some parts of the 3D Printer, like the x-carriage, z-axis and added a cooling fan.This was the last video for this project, I Hope you enjoyed the Video!

[@utsavsharan7929]

Best part is, you showed each and every step even tightening up the screw also. That's great☺️

[@abdelhaklabed4510]

Hi .. Can i ask you something ... I didn't understand the part which he said : 4000 steps for m5 rod (4:42) ... Please can you help me here

[@infotech6953]

4000 step when you used m5 rod but replace it into M8 threaded rod

[@infotech6953]

And used 700 step

[@michael54321]

I thought about doing this, watched all the videos and confirmed that I could pull this off for a personal project by using this tutorial. But, after adding all the items to my cart the total cost came out to be more than the price of a Creality Ender 3, which I currently own. Creality is really changing the game for consumer 3D printers, excellent print quality and minimal hassle. It would be a great learning experience to build a printer by following this video but I got discouraged when I saw the end price. Great video though!

[@rayscrafield2106]

I am new to the whole microelectronics and Arduino/3D printer area. I am totally fascinated with your videos. I don't understand yet any of the stuff beyond the construction of the chassis but I will be learning more as I go along and I'll re-watch your videos again and again. Thanks for your efforts and for 3 great videos. Keep them coming.

[@devinrayolsen1]

Followed your videos from beginning to end, and now I have a 3D printer too. I opted to use cheap wood instead of aluminum, and so far with two largish L-brackets I'm doing good with no signs wobbles or resonance buildup. Thank you!

[@AutomateX]

Devin Olsen actually using wood is not that good in case of fire wood will burn all the components even a spark occurs or any electrical failure... aluminium is a wiser choice

[@devinrayolsen1]

Yogesh thakare possibly.. but I’ve already updated the ramps board to high voltage MOSFETs with sinks and overkilled it active cooling. Even after a 16hour print I can confirm the MOSFETs and even PSU are cooler than ambient room temp. No motors get even warm.. I should mention only my frame and control box are wood, rest is aluminum bed frame and couplers etc.

[@AutomateX]

thats very good by adding a mosfet.I would suggest to add fuses also

[@al_ex2223]

Ok so I'm really considering making this, and I REALLY don't want it to catch on fire. I've been doing some research on a Raspberry Pi "security camera" that I could make and use over long distances using DNS. I could be eating lunch at school while making sure that it doesn't catch on fire. I could probably build a small trigger that uses the same technique to activate a fire extinguisher.

[@delanjaza6775]

After watching your videos, I came to the conclusion that execution is important. Perfection comes on the way.

[@arashi926]

Finally a good explanation on the software as well. Thank you for your video. Helped me understand the final points !

[@michaelmalina6947]

Wow, u really created 3D printer. Amazing!

[@ThisDaniYT]

Thank you for reminding me that it is not necessary to have all the best components to start. Sometimes, I prevent myself from starting a project, thinking that I can't afford all the components.

[@John_Smith__]

Thanks a lot for making these video series. Very very good stuff! Keep it up.

You did a very good job! I thought with the cable- ties, the printout will not be good, but, what you know, it's good. Congratulation.

[@xXxDJDANxXx1]

Excellent Build Mate. Looks so much better after all the modifications. Printered holders over cable ties are so much better :) Well done my friend

[@rock380starify]

Great build! I'm impressed with the accuracy you got with the simple tools you used, especially without a drill press. One question though: how do you level the print bed? Thank you, keep up the good work!

[@wentzelkleinhans1158]

This is an amazing build. Just wanted to know where i can find the Schematics as its not on the RZtronics site.

[@DmitryShevkoplyas]

Thank you for your awesome 3-parts series! Watched it couple times : ) Question - on you 1st version you put extruder on the frame (Bowden style), but on you website the modified printer has extruder close to the hot end (Direct style). Which one is the better option and why in your opinion? Thank you for sharing.

[@TheMarshallFan]

Great work! And you can't imagine the satisfaction I got when seeing the upgrade to the rod holders, my inner mechanical engineer was moaning in agony when I saw the zip-ties introduced to the x-axis ;) I guess with re-calibration of the printer before every use, repeatability and accuracy are not a big issue?

The foot print is way bigger then it needs to be. Look at prusa and creality printers and how their parts are mounted. Its done to improve the foot print as well as stability.

you should switch your Y min endstop to Y max endstop config, to get un-mirrored when printing text or letter

[@pondineshs2513]

Hi bro, I like this video very much.

[@alexandrecs7730]

Congratulations for the project. One question, I noticed that you are in 40 mm/s acceleration is acceleration can be changed to a 180 mm/s? If Yes, is made in the Arduino or are in components?

[@_Sarthak_Tyagi_]

I think you can use Cura..... it is better than Slic3r because i always use cura and it also looks good

[@architjakhmola9458]

For all those who were search ing dimensions you can take any but bigger than 20inch. Steps uploaded to Arduino are same and take care heat bed placement settings. The base should be minimum 20×20inch (From base I meant to say the area where heat bed is fixed.) And height should be roughly 25inch(min) . Acrylic sheet mount should be taken in respect of stepper motors. That's all rest you can check. In video. He night not wanted to reveal the lengths or he knew we can take any.

nice job dude

Great work! I’m learning about 3D printers. What is the resolution of this, or how finely does it print? And is this something you can improve/upgrade? How much did it all cost you? Great video! Thanks :)

Oh, I see someone asked what the nozzle size is, which is .4. I guess that’s the first answer :)
