Building a Giant 3D printer to 3D print myself

[@SeanHodgins]

I should get a head start on building this.

[@ivanmirandawastaken]

It opens a world of possibilities, BIG ones!

Hey Ivan, Just wanted to let you know that you inspired me about three years ago to get my own 3d printer. Since i first saw your videos i had been dreaming of making my own workshop like yours. I just want to say thank you for inspiring me and my journey!

[@kahllackey5619]

Hey Ivan, if you are not going to be moving this printer much, you might think about securing it to the wall or floor with bracing, that would instantly increase the rigidity of the frame quite a bit. Nice job on the new printer!!! Been missing some Ivan Miranda content, hope the next video is coming sooner that later, as you do a great job with all your projects!!!! 😀

[@saxplayingcompnerd]

you ever had a printer vibrate a wall? its very annoying.

[@kahllackey5619]

@@saxplayingcompnerd Very true, my Prusa sometimes resonates through my desk, but Ivan has a concrete floor and at least one concrete block wall I can see, so no worries of vibration there.

[@XA--pb9ni]

@@saxplayingcompnerd I don´t think thats going to be an issue as long as the wall is a brick wall. Also the frequencies are probably much different compared to small 3d Printers. I just have a big concrete slab under my printer with an enclosure and vibrations are not a problem any more

[@associatedblacksheepandmisfits]

Impressive ❤😊

[@jameschambers9312]

If he doesn’t plan on moving it he could get rid of the feet part and mount it upside down onto the roof

[@DonalRomano]

Has to be big enough to print a fully articulated iron Man armor in one shot😊

[@marnixkars539]

That would be really cool

[@ivanmirandawastaken]

It is 😁

[@andycrask3531]

Ivan size armour or normal human 😅

[@scottwillis5434]

What kind of filaments do you need for the arc reactor? I mean, it needs to WORK, right? And that means a power source.

[@liangdong4002]

This is probably a dumb question, but how the nozzle move downward to print?

[@amorton94]

I couldn't imagine printing all of this out. I get halfway through a small project and my printer starts giving me fits and I give up for months at a time. This would never get finished if I was doing it. I applaud you sir.

[@YoonSooSuh]

Not everyone half asses their shit. It's only you do crap effort lol.

[@bobbic3011]

Messing up a print this large would be annoying as hell.

[@utkua]

and expensive

Me encanta ver tus proyectos! Eres increïble!

[@ivanmirandawastaken]

Uops, no lo había visto. Gracias!!!

[@UncleJessy]

Just when i thought you couldn’t possibly go any larger… amazing mate!

[@ivanmirandawastaken]

Come on man!! There's no limit!!!

[@kbl7000]

Great work! Consider using Rivet Nuts on such thin aluminium walls. They are way stronger than simple thread i.n 2mm wall. And quite efficient on assembly

[@jana171]

Now, lets make a 20m x 20m version, and lets print a small school in vase mode 🤪 You work is INSANELY cool, the builds are AMAZING, your video edits are so fascinating, I just love this !

[@hippie-io7225]

Ivan, your engineering is awesome!! Thank you! There are at least a dozen little details (materials, part numbers, manufacturers, vendors, design decisions, etc.) in your build that could use a video each to discuss. I hope you consider doing so.

[@jvcubing6137]

hey Ivan, You might want to consider looking at a way to use a pellet extruder in one of these awsome printers!, WAY higher threwput so would be realy nice for very larg prints! Another youtuber named Doctor D flow uses one and the prints come out realy fast!

[@rickseiden1]

I'd love to know how much time it took to print the parts, how long it took to put together, and how much it cost overall! It's a beautiful design.

[@Dem0n1337]

The costs of things is hard. Aluminum can be harder to source in some places and much easier in others. He could have spent say $1000 USD on his but it would cost you $2000 USD and me $800 USD. Time to print and build time though would be interesting.

[@MegaDraadloos]

I have a bambulabs x1cc, printing one corner is 11 hours.. So i'm calculating 1 month with 24x7 running this one printer. Ordered another one by now to speed it up

[@wmdjohnson]

​@@MegaDraadloosI'm running two as well. Twice as fast 😉

[@CiviliZayden]

I would also like to know.

[@CiviliZayden]

Ivan, if you’re reading this, I want to buy the files on your website. But not before I know how much it will cost me.

[@sionej.5505]

I’m so obsessed with these videos, and just the idea of setting into a big project like this. I can’t wait to have my dream workshop and be able to spend my days tinkering and creating.

[@XTJ7]

I subscribed many years ago to watch a Spanish madman do his thing and to this day you don't disappoint. What a beautiful monster! Can't wait to see the next part :)

[@reprinted3D]

You never cease to amaze me, Ivan! Keep making; I'll keep watching!

[@pauliman1098]

This channel is going from big to HUGE and I'm loving it!! We need DIY now more than ever, that k you ❤️

[@ruhtranortep]

Thank you for doing such good wire management! Solid engineering all around.

[@MeruXYZ]

Your methodical building workflow is genius. Taping the larger piece of aluminum to the smaller piece to assemble the frame is absolutely genius and i’m stealing it.

[@DavidMeggers]

You are, without doubt, a genius. This has been so beautifully designed and created. Thank you.

[@LoopinFool]

I so love your editing! That first set of countersinks was smooooth.

[@jasontrauer]

Magnificent. Order from chaos. If only the world could be assembled as perfectly and harmoniously as your builds. 👏👏👏

[@hazonku]

LOVED that little red rod guide bit you made for the interior of the extruded aluminum. That was a brilliant solution to that known issue.

[@BitSmythe]

Most excellent video. No extra crap, no overly long procedures. Good job!

[@PCBWay]

Absolutely brilliant!! Well done, be proud of yourself，Ivan! 👍

[@3Drcnc]

Amazing work! Your videos never disappoint.

[@lasskinn474]

have you thought of a print head that has a xy head, like regular sized printer that moves on a different xy head to get away from that the bigger you go the bigger the moving mass, you'd just slowly move the other xy around to move the xy that actually can do fast movements(but is limited in travel to 20x20 or whatever)? so you could still do local moves at 120mm/s or whatever with regular drivers, while that contraption then would be moved around slower while it's doing it's thing

[@RedRavenRuler]

That is an interesting concept!!! I wish I had the garage space to build a large form to test this!!!!

[@claws61821]

I thought about doing something like this several years ago but with a Delta for the secondary. The problem with any sort of sub-tool assembly like these is that the person designing it will have to figure out how the kinematics interact and tell that to the firmware, as well as telling the firmware how to prioritize one set of kinematics over the other.

[@lasskinn474]

@@claws61821 yea there's different ways to do the kinematics, but that there isn't a pre-existing firmware definitely is a barrier, like with just more axis on a board and gcode pre-processor - let the existing look ahead and max speeds per axis and acceleration per axis routines just do as they already do and leave the firmware with not messed with(messes with fw pressure advance when moving them same time, but otherwise it's pretty much okay if a fw doesn't really know where the head is as long as the axis just move whatever they're told). I think early reprap morgans used this if i remember right and some early other alternative kinematics just used this preprocess the gcode method and run the printer as far as the printer knew as a normal xy printer. works fine enough for tinkering. not that it still would make writing the preprocessor simple, but performance wouldn't matter as it's not handled realtime. - or do it on the fly(hardest I'd think) with look ahead to see where to move the slower head while printing with with the fast one - basically same as the first one. - or a bunch of scripts and slice in 20x20 (or how much the head can move) segments and print the segments sequentally, interleave the gcode one segments one layer at a time and add the move to the next segment and then move the printhead just to the next segment area(simplest mathematics to figure out), and once all of the grid of segments is finished, raise z and go around again. simplest because you wouldn't be moving the heads at the same time, making everything conceptually much easier - at the same time it would be the jankiest of these 3. although this would make it simplest to run 2 of the printing heads idex style(or more). but yea you can't just chop off an ultimaker top end and glue it to this printer and call it a day, a LOT of the development time would go into the supporting software.

[@trevorward85043]

WOW! That is a _very_ clean assembly Ivan. Great job. I can't wait for the next video.

Truly AWE inspiring, not only your engineering skills but the perfection of how you produced the video, just the right amount of info, scene changes, increased speed without missing any pertinant info. This is so kind of you to share this with us. How many hours should a person with basic engineering and good electronic skiils estimate the hours needed to build?

[@mahmga1]

Always enjoy seeing the newer & bigger builds

[@BoringBeard]

I'm new to all of this 3d printing stuff, but wow am I impressed! Incredible build! You're an absolute legend Ivan!

Talk about why the old printer wasn't good...that would be super interesting! I mean we are here because we are interested in printers, why they are good and why they are not.

[@mariocastilloist]

Have you ever think to design a 5 axis 3d printer or a cnc mill?? It will be amazing to see a creation of yours on this kind of machines, all your videos are amazing never missed one since I watch one of your big 3d printers.

[@bcarden133]

Absolutely ludicrously massive printer, has more reasonable touch probe offsets than most desktop machines.

[@Fattrucker]

When I see this I can't help thinking "car parts" . Specifically custom body panels . But that's just one idea . This is limited only by your imagination . Fantastic video as ever Ivan . Fattrucker

[@sgsax]

This is what I'm here for: absolutely bonkers scale. Can't wait to see how this turns out. Going for a print-in-place tank? 😁 Thanks for sharing!

[@laramieist]

Hey Ivan, at the end of this printer build series could we also have a zip file with all the models for easy of printing? Maybe like update the link? Idk but I did comb through f360 for them! I can’t wait to rewatch the videos to build this. Thank you for all of your hard work and the entertainment! ❤️😁

[@critical_always]

So extremely satisfying to watch this.

[@Viking8888]

Ivan, that is so cool! It's like you know what you're doing! 😉😜

[@kathrynelrod5570]

Thank you for marking the Onshape bit as sponsored! I've seen them on so many channels lately and none of them have even mentioned that they're doing paid promotion. I kinda feel like Onshape is specifically telling people not to mention the sponsorship and just talk about the service, which would be super shady.

[@user-ey2vv1dl3n]

This is a cool and a big project!

[@ivanmirandawastaken]

Thanks!

[@viktorvictory2311]

I really like the way the drilling is edited.

[@onofriolemonache7809]

1:20 Arggggghh...caliper is NOT for scratching

[@Los_Compas_Gamers]

Ivan, te quedo muy padre, saludos desde Mexico

[@user-ztghR65Dtsk]

4:20 По поводу резьбовых соединений. Лучше использовать гайки и шайбы, а не нарезать резьбу в алюминиевом профиле. Для этого отверстие делается сквозным. Шайба и гайка вставляется через большее отверстие. Потом можно закрыть пластиковой заглушкой. Жёсткость профиля не пострадает. Зато сила крепления в разы надёжнее и обеспечит жёсткость.

[@paulobiriba]

You're truly a madman, I love it.

[@boko.youtube]

Ivan this right here is why anytime you want to have residency at Boko you'd be welcome - in fact I'll build one of these and document because you are so awesome.

[@micahsa15]

Alright! My favorite drilling and tapping channel is back with some new content!

[@claws61821]

Ivan; you should consider putting some deployable workbench caster wheels on this so you can move it around easier with less risk of warping the frame. They sell sets of four that stow and deploy on cam levers.

[@sergentdeathjack653]

Nice job . Def will be a help when I wanna build my full size 3d printer to build a custom camper shell 3d printed for a EV truck.

[@ChristianBehnke]

So impressed, as always. Well done. 👏🏻

[@James-on1vy]

The insert to hold the rod center was pretty slick. I liked that part

[@Panther3DTamil]

Wow So big and well taken in every aspects of build

[@robertheinrich2994]

to me, this device must use a 1mm nozzle, just as you chose. maybe even larger. and since this printer is so large, a filament extruder or a direct pellet extruder might be a cost saving method. the prints will be hardly below 15kg, so even a small print costs quite a lot (don't get me started on recycling of failed prints). suggestion for a first print: a benchie that can carry a person and has an electro motor.

[@g60force]

WOW a Benchie that would float and Miranda sitting in it!! YES DO THIS

[@DanteYewToob]

That thing will be capable of printing a hell of a spacer!

[@XtreamlyRandoms]

Thank you foreign

[@Firas95k]

Man you are just awesome ❤❤❤ have you considered using Beacon ABL sensor? With this bed size it could save you a lot of time for probing the bed instead of CR touch

[@ivanmirandawastaken]

That requires a metal print surface and Klipper and I do not own any printers that have either a metal print surface or run Klipper 🙃
