You and your company can try Onshape for Free at onshape.pro/ivanmiranda
The files for this 3D printer are here:
ivanmiranda.com/products/big-...
These files are mostly finished and I'll keep updating them with whatever improvements or changes I make to the machine.
The part 1 of the build where I complete the frame and the CoreXY assembly, including the carriage with the hotend, extruder etc. can be found here:
• Building a Giant 3D pr...
This is the second and last part of the giant 3D printer with a build volume of 1110mmx1110mmx2005mm that adds up to more than 2.5 m3 build volume.
This is my largest DIY 3D printer build to date and I truly enjoyed building it and I hope you enjoy watching the video, as always let me read your thoughts in the comments.

[@DumahBrazorf]

Ivan I think you're a bit confused about reproduction.

[@BrainrotterL]

Don’t think he’s ever seen any birds or bees

[@BrainrotterL]

Although people are basically 3d printers

[@mexicanshrek2811]

Crazy statement 😭😭😭

[@BrainrotterL]

@@mexicanshrek2811 Am I Wrong?

[@AndersHaalandverby]

Trust me, the other method isnt much easier.

[@marsgizmo]

I'm starting to be scared of your next 3D Printers 😄 Congrats, this one is impressive! 😎

[@MetaJamm]

next be like a giant skibidi toilet😁

[@JavierCamacho]

I truly believe youtube's 3d printing community doesn't give you enough recognition!!! This is so inspiring and incredible!!! God Bless Ivan!!! You are a role model to follow!!!

[@K4X1]

I cannot express how easy he makes building a 3D printer from scratch look.

[@azyfloof]

I can't believe you did it, that's amazing! You must be beside yourself 😁😁😁

[@BLBlackDragon]

That is impressive. Dealing with the problems of larger prints is something we don't get to hear about much, so this is appreciated. And now we have two Ivan's to deal with. Oy.

[@BenjaminAster]

I love how you can now just casually build giant 3D printers as if they were some small little side projects

[@JulenAramburu]

Brilliant!! Next step? Full home size printer? Congrats for your job!

[@kahllackey5619]

GREAT JOB IVAN!!!! The fact that you built a 2 meter tall 3d printer AND your first print was at that scale and was a success.....I'm in awe!!! 😀😀

[@MrBlakBunny]

with 2 of you, you can make twice as many videos!

[@marioacjr]

And twice bigger too!

[@bernatsempere]

Hey Ivan, for the bed heater you could wrap the cord inside-out (sort of concentric) to only heat the area below the print. Most probably you already considered this option.

[@hanswurstusbrachialus5213]

As the cord is not very long, he would also need to get the cable from the mid one across or aside the others which doesnt comply well with his current design.

[@CameronPenner]

Who needs calibration cubes when you have calibration clones?

[@thewolfstu]

the idea of being able to print life-sized prints of humanoid would be so bloody tempting. Lmao Just the mental image of printing off statues of my D&D characters. lol

[@paradisestrong7711]

I guess the next challenge is to build a 3d printer big enough to print a boat benchy big enough to use as a real boat?

[@vbart1776]

Ivan a printer this size you should have the bed fixed at the bottom. That way you can take a of weight when you print it’s much better to have the printhead raise and lower. Just think that of the stretch on your belts as you put 15 or 20 kg of material.

[@ivanmirandawastaken]

With 20kg the elongation is 4mm at maximum Z height and it is partially compensated in the steps/mm configuration.

[@DanteYewToob]

You can make custom life size army men now! That’s what the print reminded me of… You should scan yourself with some toy guns in fun poses and print them as life size toys in classic army man green! That would be so cool and go with your tank whenever you’re done with it.

[@beangames6679]

Omg man, for someone that has been 3d printer for 3+ years now and run a business of it. Stuff like this still gets me going. Awesome video!!!! I wish I had the knowledge and time to do something like this. God I'm jealous 😂

[@r3dp9]

The hidden costs of 3d printing: Printing failures, prototyping, babysitting the print. Even with those caveats, this is amazing technology that we are barely beginning to utilize. Thanks for being a pioneer for the common folk!

[@PunakiviAddikti]

Make more copies of yourself in jade, marble and gold filament and start gifting yourself to your friends and family at Christmas.

[@adrianopoier1344]

Nice! If you had a costumer reception room you could leave this on the entrance with a sign "discuss discounts and issues here"

[@Simple_But_Expensive]

Never hammer gears onto motor shafts. Even if you don’t break the gears, you damage the bearings. If your gears are too tight, get a welding rod oven (relatively cheap) to heat the gears, and a styrofoam cup filled with dry ice pellets to cool the shaft. Both can be purchased at a welding shop. Heat the gear, cool the shaft, slide the gear on. If it still doesn’t fit, your gear bore is too small. To remove the gear, heat the outside of the gear with a butane torch while maintaining pressure with a gear puller. Do not overheat the gear. If it changes color you have too much heat.

[@delgueda]

The life-size benchy is coming

[@zeikjt]

Emily The Engineer said that was the dream project, a life-sized benchy that could actually float

[@sonixthatsme]

I have 2 words, freaking awesome!

[@chrispitra8535]

Just purchased this and started 3D printing the parts - can't wait to see it come together ! amazing work. And to everyone going on about the 4mm layer height - it's really 0.4mm layer height - at end of video shows 4375 layers - at 0.4mm a layer that equals 1750mm - 1750mm to feet is 5'7" which i'm assuming is his actual height - if it was 4mm layers at 4375 layers the thing would be like 17 meters+ tall

[@elucker]

What is the total cost on your bill of materials?

[@MrMegaPussyPlayer]

16:44 _"I think I will remove myself from the bed now"_ Is what I say every morning.

[@communitycollegegenius9684]

I am WAITING for the full size replica of the Statue of Liberty, on your next Giant 3D Printer.

[@phizicks]

curious to see the 3d map of the bed leveling with such a big bed, weight and all.

[@BuggsK100RS]

I think that Print is a bit much just for a Glasses holder!🤣

[@ethanmiller5487]

Your work is amazing and I love the machine!!! Im a Laboratory Machinist and have a few small suggestions. When milling deep pockets, it's sometimes wiser to use a few tools of increasing lengths to lessen chatter. You can buy endmills with shanks smaller than the cutting edge to eliminate rubbing. Endmills with long shanks and a small cutting areas are also better at deep pockets because they lower cutting forces. Profile ramps are also useful for a finish pass. Keep up the fantastic work!!

[@sgsax]

This is really the only use case for building a 2m tall printer. 😁 Mad genious at work here. And sorry, I have no strong opinions about V wheels. You're going to need a bigger shop to house your giant printers, also stock up on red Polymaker PLA. Super fun project! Thanks for sharing!

[@HolahkuTaigiTWFormosanDiplomat]

Maybe print a plane or car in one piece?

[@ManuaLiberty]

You sir are a madman but I’m 100% here for it. I’m dually impressed with the amount of layer shifting for this high of a machine!

[@georgeyoung2684]

"I think I will remove myself from the bed now" - Me every morning before work

[@_SamDoesStuff_]

It would've been funny to use the enormous machine to make a tiny benchy

[@AndyParka]

Yeah but can it do a benchy? 😂😂

[@-______-______-]

A sea worthy one I imagine

[@davk]

Wax figure museums have competition now. GJ !

[@philipershler420]

Your printed parts that you used in all phases of construction are very elegant. Well done!

[@SocialPrime]

This is actually incredible.

[@MrCarrak]

No tengo ni idea de impresión 3D pero no puedo parar de ver tu canal jaja

[@marcoweiss2307]

Now Print a Lithophane as big as a window and use it as one 😀

[@amorton94]

That would actually be cool.

[@MacMeaties]

If you ever find the flow rate on the rapido a bit lacking give the VZbot/Mellow Goliath hotend a go. Those things have been tested at over 100mm3/s which is comparable to if not exceeding the flow rate on a Mosquito Magnum+ at a lower price point and weight.

[@raulgbcr]

What if you make a super tiny 3d printer next? Would be a good contrast. Keep it up!

[@tonymitmakaroni527]

It’s funny to think about it you can print nearly every furniture in my room 😂😂

[@GuildOfCalamity]

Ivan may single-handedly be responsible for all plastic waste in his country.

[@aL3891_]

It would have been funny to print a regular benchy on that thing;) awesome project

[@botherednickel5930]

I don't know if you saw my comment or not on your last video but I wanted you to do this and I am so hyped you ended up doing it anyways!

[@quakxy_dukx]

I think I saw that

[@hopelessnerd6677]

A most amazing build. Your excellent video editing and proper use of background music is also a plus. It's only a matter of time before your 3d printed army of human sized killer robots is completed.

[@canadian_american84]

2 drops of water is what we say in french as well when we want to say something is exactly the same! Firt time I hear it said in English!!! Good job, by the way!

[@MrKubaxius]

Because of these bulky, orange PLA braces it looks like something from satisfactory, lol. Awesome job!

[@mirekstanek]

I just love your work so much...! Whenever I watch your videos, I feel like a complete wreck who can't do anything, but on the other hand, I always feel inspired to do something. Anything! Thank you for what you do and for inspiring me for so long.

[@dragonfire2371]

Grande Iván! Que proyecto más épico!!!!

[@aserta]

You could just do the heating element basics (the wire) and then pour a high temp rubber on top and spread it with a trowel. Then, the sky is the limit. You could make any size you want, and perform at any temp you want. To secure the wires down before pouring, a single drop of superglue and activating agent should suffice.

[@CRZYCYBR]

This is bad ass. Incredible build man. Definitely something to be proud of.

[@zolatanaffa87]

Great Ivan! you did an excellent job, but considering the weight of the finished object (already over 6 kg at infill = 0) for such large formats, wouldn't it be better to have the whole XY system liftable on the 4 Z motors, leaving the platter on the ground? I would leave the filament spool up so as not to load it on the mobile system and the weight of the object would not weigh on the motors for the entire printing time.

[@CityPlannerPlaysChair]

Concrete the base, get a concrete color spray paint and stick him outside

[@Mulakulu]

11:13 That's so unnecessarily cool

[@juliy9898]

I don't know if I'm missing something and you've done this already, but I think it would be great if you made a course or a video series where you show how you designed all of the 3d printed parts. I've recently started using onshape and it's great, but I never know how to create more complex and complicated shapes like you did in this video.

[@NakedSageAstrology]

You are absolutely inspirational! I bow to your grace.

We can rebuild him, we have the technology.

[@Wezly]

'lets do a test print' - prints near perfect life size model of himself

[@Advil1024]

I knew as soon as I saw you standing inside the frame of the new printer that you were going to do this! That's hilarious and amazing. Now you have come full circle and become the Benchy for your giant FDM printer.

[@lucaribeiro6123]

Ivan...What to say? You are an absolute LEGEND! Putting together such a MASSIVE FDM set up like this and being able to print continuously like that with only that much Z Wobble? WOW! The German BIG REP guys should take notes!!! Well done bro! Keep it up :)

[@qbrain3414]

Now you have to print 100 life sized green army men with it

[@fitybux4664]

16:40 "I think I will remove myself from the bed now."

[@user-jd1co8wx8x]

Same here, but mine is not a heated bed

[@wyrmridr]

I don't think anyone else on the interwebs takes "Go Big or Go Home" anywhere *near* your level! Awesome build!

[@Allahuma.sali.ala.muhammad.]

The 3d printers keep getting bigger and bigger... also i wonder if you can make a big 3d resin printer

[@beaugalbraith3242]

How were you able to fix it midprint? Sounds like a good video topic.

[@madmel8t6]

Next, I’d like to see you build a model of the “Iron Giant” in that size.

[@MrSivkar]

I like the fact that you did not go and print super size 3D benchy 😄

[@sethnowak9823]

Absolute insanity! Such an amazing build. You make it look so easy

[@DattasMoonchaser]

The metal shavings around the extruder is unfortunately a known problem with the Apus extruder. The gears they ship with are made with material that wears extremely quickly. I've had 3 fail on me this way eventually the teeth wear away completely. I'd recommend either machining something harder if you have the tools or switching the Apus out sooner rather than later. It is a shame though, Apus seems well thought out and well put together apart from the gear problem. Maybe one day Phaetus will fix the issue

[@fillman86]

man I want one of these for making car panels!!

[@yeetyeetlson5476]

exactly what im aiming for

[@garymendoza494]

This guy's content is addicting I wish you had like a series on doing just printers and actually modifying them to the point of immunity to failure, fast prints etc.

[@pabloerosi]

Excelente Iván! Felicitaciones, un placer verte trabajar y crear estos productos únicos y compartirlos con la comunidad maker.

[@airevolution926]

12:39 If you have OCD you will spot this Immediately. Keep up the great work, can't wait to see the two-story modern house printer in 2084!

[@mitchib1440]

Well, more just general perfectionism. But yeah. OCD is more about intrusive/repetitive thoughts.

i cant even get my ender3 to print that good^^

[@ktankinfinity]

This is truly amazing! Awesome job!

[@lock3ddown883]

I absolutely love the nano polymer. It's the only thing I've used now for nearly 2 years.i print everything directly on glass (flipped ender 3 v2 bed) I print pla,abs,pa6-cf,pc, pc/abs blends and much more and it works amazing for every single one. Secret trick is it uses isopropyl alcohol. So after a few prints I pour a small amount of alcohol on thr bed and use the brush to level out the polymer. When I bought my 2nd bottle I poured half of it into the old bottle and topped them off with 99% alcohol. One bottle lasted over a year. Love your videos!! Crazy builds and impressive engineering. Please keep it up!

[@sandwich.entity3810]

This would be perfect for custom car panels in the design stage

[@sokol]

Everyone needs one of these.

[@dguy-xk4fc]

Just four days? First print no fail? Very impressive.

[@ivanmirandawastaken]
