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? Finally, wouldn't you like to own a 3D printer that you can put in your room, office, studio without making it look like a computer science lab from the fifties? We want 3D printing to be a great and simple experience. Just Plug & Print! This is how the Zortrax M200 3D printer was born. Testing & prototyping We did it! Why is the Zortrax Suite awesome? That works. Others. Maxifab 3D Printing Framework by Ryan Robinson. A 3D printer is a computer peripheral just like a normal printer, but instead of printing a picture of an object, 3D printers can actually print the object themselves!
They can do this because the “ink” inside of a 3D printer is actually plastic and it creates the object layer by layer by responding to commands given by the software.The end product is produced by a process called additive manufacturing. Any solid plastic object that fits within the printer's build envelope can be made. The build envelope is the printable space of the machine.
For example, if a machine has a build envelope is 4x4x4 then that means the largest object that a machine can build is 4x4x4. Until recently this amazing technology was only available to large companies and their rapid prototyping departments or sub contractors, but now these exciting machines are becoming available and affordable to the average public. The Maxifab 3D Printing Framework builds on the RepRap project's ideals, but not its design. 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. 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. Features of the arm Current features of the prototype ·The arm and hand have 6 degrees of freedom that can be actuated (1 thumb, 4 fingers and 1 wrist). ·The arm uses a tendon system, with the movement being provided by 5 Hobby Servos. 5 being the current number that can fit into the forearm. ·Small elastic bands allow the joints to open and close smoothly. ·Joint Models.

Stretch Goal: $200K! We will be integrating an LCD display into each and every Gigabot shipped to our Kickstarters. Our Vision At re:3D, we believe that the biggest problems in our world are solved by taking a bigger view. "Just saw this at SxSW and it is AMAZING.
Our Company re:3D is one of Austin’s newest start-ups, committed to trailblazing new frontiers in 3D printing. Community Focused We love people and 3D printing! Our Product 20mm Calibration Cube available on Thingaverse.com Our Team Rewards. QU-BD | 3D Printing & CNC Milling. Chelsea Thompson. Open Source Universal 3D Printer Extruder | DUAL EXTRUSION | by Chelsea Thompson. A few people were wondering... the nozzles shipping with the extruders will have the upgraded geometry like the Makerbot MK8 nozzles for improved extrusion. ***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. We want to be as Open-Source as possible with our ideas. Every product we sell will be available as individual components. We need your help to make this a reality. Project Timeline: In process...
3Doodler: The World's First 3D Printing Pen by WobbleWorks LLC. OpenBeam Kossel Pro - A new type of 3D Printer by Terence Tam. Update: High Resolution shots of the printer's output here: History: About a year ago, I designed the OpenBeam Construction System as a low cost way to rapidly build mechanical prototypes. One of the application I had in mind was the construction of 3D Printers. Up until OpenBeam, the traditional method of building 3D Printers was with 3D Printers. 3D Printers are great, and we have been involved in the 3D Printing community for a very long time. Design Philosophy of the OpenBeam Kossel Pro After Johann developed the ground breaking work behind the Rostock 3D printer, I donated some material to him to work on the next generation deltabot, code named: "Kossel". We will be designing our parts for maximum interchangeability between the Kossel and the Kossel Pro.
Specifications: Build Area: Cylindrical Build Area of 250mm Diameter x 250mm HeightLinear Actuator resolution: 0.2mm / full step, 1/32 Micro steppingExtruder: OpenBeam designed Dual Use extruder body. Giving back: The Buccaneer® - The 3D Printer that Everyone can use! by Pirate3D Inc. Manufacturing timeline and Stretch goals sections are at the very end for those who just want to go there. FAQ is also at the back, do check it out in case the questions you have are already answered there. Hi everyone! We have had many requests to see the internals of our 3D printer while it is printing. We ripped out the mechanics from our final casing and placed them into our prototype casing (which is transparent) for all of you to see! It's a bit messy because our prototype box doesn't have the compartments for proper storage but it looks great either way.
The item printed is the Cute Octopus from Makerbot, Created by Jason Bakutis and is a creative common. We at Pirate3D are creating a full 3D printing solution for home consumers. Here is what we offer: Easy and Intuitive set up, The Buccaneer is built to be as easily set up as possible. Cloud Printing like pulling information directly from our store (Treasure Island) into your Buccaneer. Here is our baby, The Buccaneer. Summary Why? 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).
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. We tried: (1) sand paper on the part, (2) wiping the part with different solvents, (3) egg beating a bowl of solvent with the part... (13?) Thank you for all your support, we are truly grateful! VeryCool Build. A last minute note to direct people to the other page where I showed building the NEW hot-end for this printer. 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. " The first point I want to make is that I am happy with the printed parts deal I got to start this project off. My motors Is a trial. Personal Portable 3D Printer.
