Zortrax M200 - professional desktop 3D printer by Zortrax

It’s easy, it’s stylish, it’s cost effective and it’s for you. The Zortrax M200 is the printer that will change the nature and the future of home 3D printing. Home 3D printing is awkward. When you order a garage-made 3D printer, you usually receive a box of plastic parts with vague instructions made of Google links. You spend loads of cash on spare parts and then spend weeks or months trying to make the printer work just to see it makes some noises and add two pages to your total bill.

Aren’t you tired of being your printer’s workforce? Maxifab 3D Printing Framework by Ryan Robinson. 3D Printed Robotic Hand by Christopher Chappell. Our Kickstarter campaign is to develop a humanoid robotic hand and arm that is of far lower cost than any other available.

3D Printed Robotic Hand by Christopher Chappell

We believe that this will open up robotics to a far wider market of makers and researchers than has ever been possible. This should then trigger an explosion of creativity in the areas of robotics, telepresence and ultimately prosthetics. Project background can be found at the Anthromod website. Photos of the printed prototype How you will help With your Kickstarter pledges we can take the prototype design and optimise it.

By pledging even a little you can receive part of the arm that will be functional. Gigabot 3D Printing: This is Huge! by re:3D. Facebook Page | Twitter BIG thanks to Ben Malouf who has graciously allowed us to feature his stunning vases found at thingiverse.com/benitosanduchi!

Gigabot 3D Printing: This is Huge! by re:3D

Stretch Goal: $200K! You did it!!!! We will be integrating an LCD display into each and every Gigabot shipped to our Kickstarters. 3D Printing & CNC Milling. Chelsea Thompson. Open Source Universal 3D Printer Extruder. A few people were wondering... the nozzles shipping with the extruders will have the upgraded geometry like the Makerbot MK8 nozzles for improved extrusion.

Open Source Universal 3D Printer Extruder

***We are already producing some of the components so we have a head start...we plan to begin shipping soon after the campaign completion (first in first out)*** We wanted to thank everyone that came out to see our extruders and 3D printer/mill (coming soon) in person at the Maker Faire - San Mateo 2012! A Dual Extruder That Everyone Can Afford! Yes that's right, my two friends and I have quit our day jobs and jumped head first into forming our own indie, open source 3D printer company. Our infrastructure is already set up and running. Before I go any further I want to say upfront that we are 100% for contributing to the community as a whole. Every product we sell will be available as individual components. We also changed the 'plunger' to allow for much smoother engagement and precision during adjustment.

Hi everyone! 3D Refiner by 3Dprintsexpress.com by Ross Yeager. ******NOTE: For INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING, please refer to FAQ section at bottom****** *** Click the Picture below for a enlarged version hosted at 3dprintsexpress.com *** We are two masters of engineering students at UC Berkeley in their last year and avid 3D printers (almost obssesed... we're always looking for an excuse to use 3D printing in a class).

3D Refiner by 3Dprintsexpress.com by Ross Yeager

The 3D Refiner came to be from our pain of having to wait for 3D prints AND all the time spent after printing to clean the part and make it presentable. We figured why not 3D print at the lowest resolution and with the highest speed... you get the print in a fraction of the time, but they looked horrible and the plastic layers were very prominent. So we tried different methods to improve the prints finish and still save a ton of time. VeryCool Build. A last minute note to direct people to the other page where I showed building the NEW hot-end for this printer.

VeryCool Build

Other than that, this project is finished. — COMPLETE — I solved my problems of the plastic not sticking to the table by a light cleaning of the table top with fingernail polish remover. What is available here now is not acetone as it used to be. It is mostly alcohol. Ethyl acetate to be more specific. :-) See also my page on making an all-metal hot-end for your 3D printer, which goes along with this page: After several people engaging in much chatting on the Shout Box about making 3D printers, I was finally hooked and decided to start on one myself. Despite all the hassles you may run into, remember the words of Winston Churchill when he said to "─never, ever, ever give up. " Personal Portable 3D Printer.
