Excellent work! I think a CoreXY would be very beneficial for such a large bed. Then you don't need to worry so much about the inertia of the extremely heavy bed. That would be a very large cage needed though, and the support on the bed would need to be fairly strong.

[@RubSomefastOnIt]

Yeah corexy would be the way to go, leave the bed and heavy parts completely stationary and make the xy gantry move up in Z as it prints. Much less moving mass, faster more stable prints.

[@frankearl9285]

Core-XY would be...heh...impractical for this class of printer (i.e. MASSIVE print volume) because of the extensive belt lengths you need to tension, etc. It's rough enough doing a classic bed-flinger here with this stuff. At some point he's going to hit limits on the belts that're going to call for lead-screws or rack/pinion drive solutions. At that point, he would be probably better suited with a MASSIVE Delta kinematic or a Workhorse-XL type kinematic, which is cartesian, but makes the printbed static relative to the X/Y axis and raises and lowers the X/Y gantry relative to the Z.

[@RubSomefastOnIt]

@@frankearl9285 yeah didnt think of the big belts stretching. rack and pinion would be really cool to see. our big printers at work (15 x 60ft 8ft H) are dual gantry with linear rails and ball screws, one gantry is the print head with 1/2 in or 3/4 in nozzles and the second head is a 5 axis milling head for finishing. very cool machines. i belive the new one being installed now is close to 100ft long bed.

[@theorangebaron1595]

Finally started using socket head bolts and washers instead of large Philips head bolts! AMAZING build Ivan. You did a great job filming it all. Beautiful process. Thank you for providing the internet with amazing content! After reading the comments, many seem to wonder why you chose a cartesian style printer instead of a Core XY. One main argument is that a core XY takes much more frame and bracing material to ensure sufficient rigidity. Also, the core XY keeps the moving print head at the top of the printer(however tall it is .5m?), this would mean that the large extruder and hot-end mounted so high up would be rocking the printer around. Anyways, I always enjoy your content, and hey, as long as it works well!

[@ivanmirandawastaken]

Yes, I caved and bought a lot of new screws. And yes, there's people complaining about the speed of this design, but they are thinking small. A small cube will take longer in this printer, but anything large will be really fast. This is not for miniatures, that spanner took 11 hours, around the same it would have taken to print it full diagonal in a CR-10. Thanks!!!

[@arthurmorgan8966]

Stupid question, instead of Y moving, wouldn’t it be easier to use a design a model where only Z moves? Printing head alone will have same inertia as regular size printers, you could print faster and not worry about getting knocked in the nuts by your printer. Again, I’m no expert. Just a stupid question. Maybe it was raised before.

[@tmartin9482]

I don't know if I understand your question correctly. For a 3D printer you will always need three axes. But yes - many big printers are cartesian, coreXY or delta types where the print head moves.

[@arthurmorgan8966]

I was thinking like massive size Ender 5 (cartesian) or Sapphire (CoreXY)

[@blahorgaslisk7763]

@@charlesw.3245 What he means is the bed is stationary while the printhead assembly moves in X, Y and Z. And for a large printer like this I think it would be interesting to do it that way. Moving all of the bed means the total footprint needed increases a lot and the total mass of the bed and what is printed i much higher than the mass of the printhead assembly which should mean that it could move faster using much less power. Now the problem is to make something that can move in all three directions at the same time and yet stay stable with no wobble, backlash or vibrations which all would compromise the print quality. I'm sure all those problems can be overcome, just not easily and it would probably require some pretty specialized slides and very high precision components that are pretty expensive and might not even be available as standard components. This printer was built using standard components and 3D printed parts making it a pretty cost effective design. So if you've got the space it needs, a very stable surface to place it on and don't need really high print speed I think it's a good compromise having the bed move.

[@nasrulacuy6991]

I think with this conventional design would be much more simple to build, cheap, and light, and maybe he want to make the project finish faster so he choose the conventional. Also Ivan proves that the print quality with this configuration is quite decent with the cost of print time.

[@nocjef]

A coreXY that size would be a nightmare. Belt lengths would be a huge issue as well as sheer size (a 350^3 barely fits through a standard door frame). Bed slingers scale up much easier with much cheaper parts. Your only loss is speed but using larger filament and nozzle sizes helps to mitigate that.

[@tonpa8888]

@@nocjef It all depends on how well you build your printer. Building such a huge i3 setup and getting the bed to acceptable speeds is as compilated as building a machine with the extruder on the X&Y axis. Even if you couldn't get the belts to work properly, a stationary bed with the X-axis gantry moving on z and Y, like the ginormous printer that Joel form the 3D printing nerd has, would still be easier to build than this contraption.

[@EgorKaskader]

@@nocjef Bed slingers might as well use a Y-portal at that point, for half the size of the machine with the same useable volume. Like, yes, what Joel the 3D printing nerd has. As a bonus, that system is a lot more rigid and doesn't rely on the sheer mass of the bed to stay on the guides.

@@moyu1616 It's a Carthesian variant, so it should be fine. The problem with an i3 of this size stems from just the sheer mass of the bed, though, and Ender still uses Z-axis for the bed. For Y-bed like we see here, it necessitates massive amounts of power, has more inertia than quite possibly every other moving part combined, and effectively doubles the machine's footprint. Putting it on Z like on Ender 5 would require expensive leadscrews or even ball screws, but save costs on frame material, motors, and their controllers, and result in a more rigid (and thus accurate) machine overall. Using XYZ-head Carthesian could introduce unwanted vibrations, especially across the Z-axis, but would be a lot cheaper and easier than moving the bed at all, while still being more rigid and accurate than the i3-style Carthesian seen here.

His builds are awesome, but I don't care for the fact he never responds to people trying to dig into his thought process on choices, such as your comment. Only comments he seems to respond to are the ones sucking his dick, so to speak. These are usually good questions worth brief explanation on why he chose what he did when there seems to be better options available.

Fantastic. If you're going bigger, you're going to have to switch to a gantry rather than moving bed, I think. If only to save the floor space. Next: 4th axis! Add the ability to rotate the printing surface in some way. They do it with metal cad/cam. It'd be interesting to see what you could do with that ability in additive printing.

Dude, that´s an addiction. you need help. or maybe some space(rs) from these things..

The Apex of the i3 design uptill now! Congratulations! You truly are a class apart!

[@ethanfitton6336]

[@DracolegacyOfficial]

you're a mad man and this was a beautifully executed project.

[@Virondata]

That build and that wirering, it is so beautiful and it is true art, great work :)

[@GT0NY]

Wow! You're magician! It's impressive how stunning and neat the project is! And it works!!! Great job man! Thanks!

You are absolutely inspiring. I have been dreading to begin building a voron 2.4. After seeing this I have decided to build my own printer after all. Problem is, I need a 3d printer to start building my diy one. Keep up the great work my friend. You are amazing and inspiring!

I would recommend just buying a decent one like an ender 3 at the start, i got a very complicated printer as my first one and its a pita to calibrate correctly. I can imagine a diy printer would be even worse for a beginner

I wish I had a proper workshop like yours, and not just a corner of the dining room!
