I MACHINED A 3D PRINTER FROM SCRATCH (NO 3D printed plastic parts)

lovely quote "And i can make it bigger, and its my design, so i can make it bigger, and now its bigger." - Ivan miranda love your videos and go get it attitude

[@MrManta2012]

I read on the internet...The ideal router bits to work on aluminum are straight bits and carbide-tipped. You need to use 3/8 inch wide cut. Do not use smaller bits since they tend to get hot and soon aluminum shavings clog up their blades then ultimately stop cutting.. hope it helps

[@ArtByLukeW]

Thank you for including the part about having to go through several iterations. The mistakes are interesting, plus it's encouraging for those of us trying to follow along at home!

[@madnessfire9081]

Quick tip for securing your aluminium sheets on the router bed. i really struggeled to get thin sheets fixed properly use (test with different types) painters tape on both sides - worpiece and table. apply superglue to one side and a little spray of activator on the other. press and hold together for 10 sec. on some tapes the glue does not stick. some tapes do not stick great to wood (covered my base with some epoxy and i use 3m painters tape. this works like a charm. strong hold and easy to remove keep on great work

Now it's time for an all-metal CNC machine. Great job on the 3D printer. I find it amusing that you spent a lot of effort in making the print bead assembly as light as possible but yet the print table moves just as much and as fast as the print head.

[@nadukkerensky392]

Ivan you have reached a pinnacle this video filled me with a strange pride, like a father watching a child become an successful adult ive been subbed to you for many years now and i cannot count the amount of times your followers (me included) have called you on dangerous and unsafe work practices or suggested a tool after watching you do something the hard way like 10 times in a row due to humble beginnings or lack of knowledge ive gone from watching you work in a closet and holding my breath each time you cheat death, to admiring a professional maker deploy tools with safety, precision and attention to detail i hope you can appreciate how far you have come time for me to go.... and make something

[@emil92056]

I almost had to close my eyes every time a shiny aluminum piece got clamped down in the vice; it's time to print some jaw guards.

[@vannoo67]

I winced every time a part moved in the vice when he was drilling it. Doesn't appear to have affected the quality of the build tho.

[@Arkmanb]

That was the most PERFECT first layer

[@spacenoodles5570]

You might have issues with warping since the print is only cooled from one side. A good shroud that redirects airflow around the nozzle will greatly help. 24:05 those writes seem a bit thin

It is somewhat surprising that the platform is parallel to the x-rail without the need for calibration. Well done! You may have to add a platform leveling function if the alignment is off later.

[@pnwscitech1589]

Hey Ivan, if you use adaptive clearing for your stepper hole, you wont have to cut and file tabs. Although it will add more CNC time.

[@Jontek2]

Awesome! You should raise the Z-motors up a few mm so it doesn’t touch the frame. This will help against vibrations and noise.

If power supply is properly made it would have ground connected to its case, and power supply is definitely connected to chassis.

@@bumbarabun That's a dangerous assumption for anything coming out of China. Half the stuff Big Clive pulls apart that has an earth wire turns out to not have it connected to anything. Just an unstripped wire flapping about inside the case.

The part at 10:41 made me smile. Why didn't you use 6020 aluminum extrusion? It seemed like it took a lot of time to build it for your base by yourself. Did your supplier not offer it? Or did you need something specific that 6020 doesn't offer?

[@GodzillaGoesGaga]

Not sure if you did this but you should have a star-point earth with an earth post. All metalwork should be earthed since you have a mains connector close to the metal panels. Consider a filtered mains connector too.

Oh my this is so cool. I just hope he didn't forget any SPACERSSSSSSS. Ps. since it's full-metal, I would use DirectDrive for the extruder. That way you don't need a bowden tube and the cable management is even easier, and it improves retraction a lot.

[@boblewis5558]

Awesome build! Superb looking, and operating unit. Gorgeous print quality for just the second print example too. Here's a little challenge: why not DIY anodise the plain aly CNC parts ... In black or red. THEN engrave them THROUGH the anodising into bare aly. I made a hi-fi amp front panel around 40 years ago that even today looks brand, spanking new and just as fantastic as the day it was made. I had the anodising done as a favour by a professional firm, but have my own since.

You should try and put the height control so it adjusts to the table to auto adjust the table height. I saw it done before.

You done an excellent job , well done. any chance of plans for all the parts. The one thing I would change is to add a set of wheels that run on the opposite side of the rail that the table wheels run on, this is to prevent the table lifting up, especially when printing tall top heavy objects...really needs to lock that table in position.

Another great video, I highly recommend not using your calipers as a scribe though (3:30). Each time you do this, they become slightly less accurate.
