3D Printer, LEGO Mindstorms EV3

[@rabidflea1413]

Owning a 3D printer myself this is very impressive and although the print is rough looking the fact it came off a printer made of legos is ridiculously cool. Kudos.

[@tiantian329]

Ik right?

[@buzzygaming7667]

dont worry its better than a 95 dollar 3d printer

[@archie6106]

damn this is the most acurate lego 3d printer ive seen!! keep it up.

[@TechBricks]

thanks a lot!

[@botalex4845]

how many have you ever seen? you word it like you have seen tons.

[@rosserobertolli]

That is the most impressive and unimpressive Benchy I have ever seen at the same time!

Thank you! I really appreciate such at point comment!

i love this video and the person who actually managed to make a 3d printer out of lego !!! you did something that most of us still strugle with . thank you

[@TechBricks]

thank you so much. I really appreciate that!

[@lomgamer]

It's really cool... but you think most of us thinks of lego 3D printers? :D

[@FirstnameLastName-mr8lk]

@@TechBricks Biggest question is how did you actually get the arduino to work with the ev3 computer thats my biggest question because making a 3d printer on its own is pretty easy but the connection between the 2 seems hard

[@TechBricks]

@@FirstnameLastName-mr8lk in that project Arduino circuit that controls only the temperature of print head is not connected to the ev3. However you can connect ev3 to Arduino simulating touch sensor or using I2C www.dexterindustries.com/howto/connecting-ev3-arduino/

@@lomgamer i do ! And i still work on mine )))

[@marvin.t4emblem185]

literally the best use of a Mindstorm ive seen

[@justgottasendit8825]

That is insane, even with the print results being a bit rough. I’ve been printing for a while and even own a small printing service on the side and I’ve tried making a printer from scratch and failed badly. I really respect this build since I’m sure it wasn’t easy. Printing a “benchy the tugboat” on a lego 3D printer is just insane and I definitely think this video should get more credit cuz this is crazy! Nice job

[@BrickThunder]

Even though the ending came out a bit rough, that infill looking perfect!👌

[@seanjackson6474]

I was not expecting it to print a benchy that well damn. Great work!

[@jonahstricklin5476]

This video deserves more attention! All you need is a cooling fan on the nozzle and you could even get legit decent quality!

[@stevop80_45]

The final print is a bit rough, but the fact it was printed with a lego machine makes it quite impressive! Nice work and thanks for sharing!

[@mak0t0san]

Very neat! I think a part cooling fan would have helped, but the whole concept of a LEGO 3D printer is really neat. I specifically searched for "lego 3d printer", saw this video first and it did not disappoint.

[@suspense_comix3237]

This is really impressive for a 3D printer made of LEGOS! Just add a Heated Printing Bed or a Part Cooling Fan and your print would probably come out better.

[@chrome3628]

Rough surface but insane for being made out lego! Very well done dude

[@rossyboi712]

Holy shit dude. This is incredible! Absolutely genius!

[@AutTheWizard]

Well, it printed

[@d0tted770]

Best and most inspiring lego video ever

[@MarcAntoine01]

Really impressed with the quality! Good job mate

[@_Simon]

Looks underextruded to me, but try gearing down the feeder some and then increasing the speed. Also if possible retraction would fix much of the stringing occurring.

[@whopperlover1772]

This is so incredibly impressive!

[@TechBricks]

Thanks!

[@KSONO___]

Now make lego bricks with it

[@CharlieHalvorsen]

Building my own Lego 3d printer, it as good as this one but it’s getting there, I’m also using a 3d pen which makes things much harder. Nice build, defiantly want to see more!

[@d.wetteskind]

Could you upload a video, where you show the programming for the EV3? Because I build for a time a Mindstorms printer too, but I reassembled it, because I had no Idea how to send a G-Code inside the EV3-Brick. Nice Video 👌

[@TechBricks]

that's a good idea acctually. I'll think about it. For the code I've written gcode interpreter and I'm simply opening (previously saved on the ev3) txt file w g commands.

[@LEGOKIDEngineeringmaster]

[@umutkaradag2340]

With one 30 or 40mm fanduct this prints will be more beautiful

[@Robber7]

Now you can make LEGO using LEGO! Mind blown

[@tibike262]

a simple nozle fan would make the print soooo much nicer

[@TechBuild]

Why don't you try replacing the chain with the rack and pinion gear system? That can help reduce backlash and improve the quality of the prints.

WoW Amazing

[@colincampbell3679]

Amazing how Lego has got so advanced now! All down to the invention of electronic Programming systems and advanced Lego parts. Shame that there was metal parts needed to make this a true 3D printer Model. But I sure this will not be so for long as the parts advance in Lego systems? I do think 3D printing if done really well has a real world place in making parts for the future! I see most if not all families owning a 3D printer in the near future as cost drop more! It be a nice back up for item making that be helpful if you can't get a small part you need.

[@TechBuild]

Great project! Liked and subscribed in just 10 seconds.

[@mrpepperonipizza3287]

Absolutely incredible!!!!!

[@fonzyduc1499]

Good job!

[@firenado4295]

the chattering and roughness on the print is probably caused by the chain as it is slightly stretchy causing it to not be exact enough for the fine details but still though it is very impressive i mean there are real printers that are junk compared to this

[@ul4264]

Oh, very good job

[@AndrewTheRadarMan]

[@RomeDrori]

Some ideas for improvement you might want to print a better fan shroud so you get better cooling and maybe tighten up the gears

[@d.wetteskind]

Good Idea, but the gears must be tighten up first

[@daoyuzhang1648]

Real question: can you print legos with this?

[@rafalmag]

Does the application on EV3 parse the gcode or it executes commands from Arduino?

[@TechBricks]

EV3 parses the gcode. Arduino controlls temperature of the printing head. They're not connected.
