MAKING A GIANT FRAME FOR A 3D PRINTER (from scratch) - GIANT 3D PRINTER BUILD PT. 1

[@Synthetica9]

Finally, a sea-worthy benchy

[@hayden9944]

Hahahha!

[@DarinthMalacoy]

We have a tank. I guess we might as well do a boat.

[@richstaubin333]

Lmao 🤣🤣🤣

[@smalrebelion]

This is going to happen. I feel it.

[@polloviz]

Benchy does not float xD

[@astorbrochs5131]

For a perfectly stiff frame with the opportunity to pull the frame square you can use wires with turnbuckle on the diagonals on the sides and rear. Cool build...

[@SeanHodgins]

Ohh this is exciting. I think Ill need a giant format 3d printer soon!

[@ivanmirandawastaken]

Oh yes! Huge 3D printer team!!!

[@andymuzzo8568]

That is absolutely awesome. Can’t wait to the finished item.

[@ivanmirandawastaken]

Thanks!

@@ivanmirandawastaken your definitely welcome. Keep up the awesome work

[@cyberstar251]

i can already see some HUGE prints coming, and the use of at least 8 spools for one job.

[@DogmaFaucet]

There's a thing called a "transfer punch" for transferring hole locations from one piece to another. You should get much more accurate hole locations and save yourself the step of marking with the Sharpie. I wonder if you can get drill guide bushings that fit screw clearance holes to use as a guide for the tap drill. That would cut out the punching step too.

[@auxchar]

Alternatively, he could have drilled the holes with one of the CNC machines he built, and program it with the correct hole spacing.

[@SidneyCritic]

Yeah that's the better way to do it. For Alum I would just spin it up on a lathe with any bright bar, but for a lot of punches a cheap way is to grind a point on a close fitting flat punch or the shank part of a broken drill.

[@timplett1]

In a pinch you can also use a drill bit the same size as the hole in a rail, just only drill just enough to make an indent, that will center the smaller bit later.

[@BernardSandler]

It’s wonderful that even with your years of doing this, you are still finding interesting ways to add visual interest and funky shots.

[@AJB2K3]

"... At this point, you already know the drill. This one ...." That made me laugh out loud!

[@properprinting]

Best use for a failed first layer right there! This build is beyond epic and I cannot wait to see the rest!

[@ivanmirandawastaken]

Yeah! Are you ready for some 24" rims?

[@properprinting]

@@ivanmirandawastaken let's plan a meeting soon!

[@RDT.3D]

[@ChernaTom]

"You already know the drill... This one!" laughed too hard at that one.

[@micahsa15]

This is the best drilling and tapping channel on youtube

[@Daniel_Blake]

Lets hope the next one comes out soon. Bloody love it when people make custom printers.

[@luisepd]

Great design Ivan. Looking forward to seeing the final product. Note: The rail cars for the z axis were not installed which means disassembly of the linear rails or top frame

[@slimknight_]

I believe he left them short due to x and y gantry height + hotend length so he can slip them on the top?

[@possiblyneil4978]

Those linear rails shots at the end did me some psychic damage, what the hell!

[@ivanmirandawastaken]

They did some damage to me too when I realised it.

[@ivos19]

I went to the comments looking for this detail. Good luck with it Ivan! Mucha suerte 😅

[@mattiasfagerlund]

Thumbs up for the shots from the inside of the extrusion, awesome!

[@DeadlyAssets]

About 10 years ago I designed something on similar lines, I named it the Beast! I even got quite a bit of the metal to build it, but like so many things in my life it got pushed to the back of the projects list and eventually fell off into the "Probably will never get built" box, still it's good to see someone even more ambitious than me, mine was only going to print 1mx1mx1m, looks like yours is even bigger! Fantastic!😁

[@become3d-xyz]

It's that time again! Huge 3d printers for the win!

it is huge, but hey it is Ivan Miranda !!!!!! if it is not big then it is shame. Buddy you are awesome.

WOW Ivan this is amazing! Also, congrats on 300k subs! Cannot wait to watch this build process! So inspiring how you dream so big in these projects and actually complete them LOL. Life goals.

Yes!! Thanks Grant!

Looking forward to the end result.

[@kevinm413]

The kaleidoscope sequence at 8:33 is stunning! Well done- this is another exciting project!

[@LordBarrington]

So cool, maybe next is a room sized printer? with the extrusions bolted to the wall and the gantry from the ceiling

[@ericperkins3078]

Been done, but for concrete, not plastic. I think they build statuary and stuff like that.

[@MCsCreations]

Fantastic, Ivan! 😃 Looking forward to the next part! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Thanks!

[@jovanienazaire1362]

This is great!! also looking fit Ivan

[@TheRealAlpha2]

"Properly absurd" is a good description. Soon your builds are going to be so big you're going to need to 3D print a forklift.

[@MAYERMAKES]

I love the adjustable feet!

[@ivanmirandawastaken]

Thanks mate!

[@jimbarchuk]

That looks outrageous and unreasonable. Excellent.

[@AtomicVic]

Yes. Just YES!!!

[@Scott.E.H]

I can't wait to see the stuff you make with this

[@webdes03]

Curious why you went with threaded rods to hold everything together instead of fabricating some brackets. That probably would have helped with the overall rigidity too.

[@SidneyCritic]

Yeah there is no register/doweling to locate it properly/strongly, it's just friction between them. He probably should've 3D printed a plug to go inside the ends that are a tight fit on the rod, that way the rod acts as a kind-of dowel.

[@kingjones7388]

Absolutely awesome videos. How about a laser cutter/engraver next 👍

[@Vez3D]

Wow thats a very awsome project!!! And the video was very entertaining. Good work man..cant wait to see the next one episode

A good workout bench is way more of a priority than a huge ass 3D printer. Especially in a shop like that.

[@KWHCoaster]

Gheez, that's huge. Very cool project!! Subscribed. But, this immediately popped into my head 🙂 "If one ox could not do the job they did not try to grow a bigger ox, but used two oxen. When we need greater computer power, the answer is not to get a bigger computer, but... to build systems of computers and operate them in parallel." - Grace Hopper

Love the idea of using the 1st layer as a template for drilling holes!

Small question: how are you going to put the linear bearings now? 🤔 For the vertical axis

[@ivanmirandawastaken]

[@temyraverdana6421]

WOW! It's a giant monster

[@taleg1]

Oooh, way to really push the barriers, fantastic work Ivan. One question though, should you do a lot more to stiffen the whole frame? I mean isn't the quality of a print reduced by vibrations, something that big, will easily pick up vibrations, so you should add dampening feet, and stiffen the whole thing up as much as you can. I'd also triple or quadruple check that the whole thing was squared too. I read somewhere that the more you tightened the tolerances and locked down the construction to the nth 1/1000 mm or less, it also improved the details. The setting's were were different, but the result of that idea stuck with me. But I feel like it should be true for 3D printing too as any vibration of flex would be bad right. Good luck and keep inspiring us all, thank you so much for that. :D PS, I can almost feel my impatient for the rest of this story :D

Ive wanted a 3d printer for many years, never had enough to get one. Till last year when i saved up monry and got the ender 5 pro. If u need a cheap starter model get the ender 3 v2. It has amazing modding/upgrading possibilities as well. My ender 5 already has lots of mods
