Home - Pirate 3D 3Delivered - 3D Printing FORM 1: An affordable, professional 3D printer by Formlabs Are you frustrated that low-end 3D printers don’t have the quality to make the true beauty of your designs real? Do you dream of having the power and resolution of a truly professional machine on your desktop? We’ve created an easy-to-use system that rivals the output of high-end printers at a fraction of the cost. Our reason for starting this project is simple: there are no low-cost 3D printers that meet the quality standards of the professional designer. As researchers at the MIT Media Lab, we were lucky to experience the best and most expensive fabrication equipment in the world. But, we became frustrated by the fact that all the professional-quality 3D printers were ridiculously expensive (read: tens of thousands of dollars) and were so complex to use. We’ve been hard at work for over a year, and with your help, we’re ready to take the Form 1 into full-fledged production. We’ve gone to extraordinary lengths to design a complete 3D printing experience: They look like this: Spiffy, eh?
3D printing parts with overhangs using new dissolvable support material Feb.28, 2013 ABS and PLA filaments have been used in 3D printing community for quite a long time. Some people have been testing other types of filaments, such as Laywood, Nylon or HIPS filament. HIPS stands for High Impact Polystyrene and is one of the most produced polymers worldwide. It is a flexible product widely used in the food packaging industry because of its strength, hygiene, and ability to retain heat. HIPS filament is extruded from High Impact Polystyrene. When printing with an FDM 3D printer, such as a Makerbot or RepRap, you run into problems when printing objects that have large overhangs or bridges within your model. Earlier last year Thingiverse user Tony Buser has printed a model uses polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a support material. 3DPPVD discovered the HIPS filament can be a new dissolvable support material. (Images credit: 3dppvd.org) I made my prints with a Makerbot Replicator 1 with two extruders. Thanks to Ken Cassetti for the tip! 本站所有文章版权归3ders.org所有，未经许可不得翻译或转载。
The gMax 3D Printer - Print. Bigger. by Gordon LaPlante If we reach: Read About gMax Printer At: Imagine a world where you can come up with a design in your mind and have the physical object, large or small, in your hands with just a few clicks on a computer in the comfort of your own home or office. 3D printing is something that I was interested in long before I designed the gMax printer. Throughout this process I was working full-time and taking my exams to become a licensed architect, which I completed July 2012 – the first prototype was completed that Winter and I’ve been continuously updating, upgrading, and optimizing this printer ever since. Below are several renders showing the design's progression: With a 16'' x 16'' x 9'' (2,304 in3) build volume, the gMax 3D Printer is among the top when it comes to build volume capabilities. Also, the 16’’ square acrylic bed does not require heat if you’re using PLA. Another note worth mentioning is how quietly the gMax prints. Summary: Specifications Dimensions Weight Frame
Portabee 3D Printer, Portable & Cheap 3D Printing Phoenix 3D Printer As a follow up to our very successful Kickstarter campaign, we're here on IndieGogo for round two of our Phoenix 3D Printer! "What makes your 3D printer so different than everyone else's?" At the San Mateo MakerFaire, virtually everyone we spoke to asked us this question. With so many printer models to choose from, we were glad to see consumers becoming better educated about their options in the ever-growing 3D printing market. So what makes our printer different? It's the software. Our software makes 3D printing easier. The Z Axis Most traditional 3D printers use threaded rods to drive their Z axis up and down. The Extruder Our extruder is designed to help prevent heat from traveling up the filament. A warranty. Yes, we have a one year on parts and labor. Yoda and his puppy! This spider house was printed in about 20 pieces, then glued together and painted. Earbud holder A heart This "box / cylinder" test shows how straight the walls are of our printer.

Kossel Clear - Let's build a full sized delta 3D printer! by Blue Eagle Labs Update: We reached our stretch goal! Please check our updates tab for more information. We are Blue Eagle Labs and we are HUGE fans of 3D printers. For the past 6 months, we have been working on our rendition of the delta printer, the Kossel Clear. The Kossel Clear will be a popular, viable, and mainstream delta printer alternative for 3D printer fans. We have designed our printer with the first-time builder in mind. The Kossel Clear offers the following main advantages: Complete Build Documentation: For the 1st time builder, making your own delta 3D printer might seem to be a daunting task due to the vast amount of information that needs to be gathered. 1. 2. 3. Our Kossel Clear is a delta type 3D printer that uses 3 stepper motors to control the kinematically linked effector for movement in the x,y,z axis. Design Highlights Auto Calibration: Thanks to Johann Rocholl's auto calibration routine, builders will now have a lot less on their minds. Acrylic Rods/Arms: Measure twice, cut once?

Focus, an experimental powder printing platform In this instructable I am going to explain Focus, a functional experimental powder printing platform. Focus started of in October 2012 when I asked myself, how hard can it be to SLS nylon powder. To answer this question I built Focus. I have designed Focus to be experimental, All parts can be swapped for different parts and there is a lot of adjustments in most parts. I myself have configured focus as a SLS/SLM printer right now. In this instructable I have included everything needed to build the basics of focus. Schematics Wiring diagrams Technical drawings Bill of material lists Firmware I also maintain a complete buildpackage which can be found at my thingiverse page or in the attachments in step 2. With this you can build the printer. Sadly there are no step by step building pictures of Focus. If you still have questions after reading this instructable, feel free to ask them in the comments.
Comment fabriquer ses filaments d’ABS pour son imprimante 3D à moindre cout Mon imprimante 3D devrait arriver d’ici une semaine, et je recherche déjà des techniques pour obtenir des filaments d’ABS à moindre coût. Lors de mes recherches, le projet Lyman Filament Extruder revenait souvent, mais il restais encore trop onéreux. Le projet de DeltaPrinter se base sur le projet de Lyman mais en utilisant que des éléments courants du commerce et une pièce imprimée en 3D. Cela permet d’obtenir un coup de revient de l’ordre de 100€, ce qui est de suite plus raisonnable. Le système est composé d’un tube de 10mm en acier inoxydable avec une ouverture dans lequel un foret à bois va faire l’office de vis sans fin pour pousser les billes d’ABS vers l’extrémité. Là, un bloc d’aluminium fait la jointure avec une tube de cuivre de 15mm de diamètre avec un embout percé et calibré au diamètre voulu. Le bloc d’aluminium est chauffé avec deux résistances chauffantes 230V à la température de 200°C.
Fabriquer son imprimante 3D Oui il est possible de fabriquer son imprimante 3D personnelle à partir de plans disponibles gratuitement en Open Source. Ces ressources vous mèneront vers des sites internet anglophones et sont réservés aux personnes qui maîtrisent les techniques de constructions mécaniques et électroniques. Sachez que vous ferez des économies en utilisant cette approche mais que vos connaissance seront mises à rudes épreuves. Vous pourrez bien entendu trouver de l’aide sur notre forum ou nous la communauté se fera un plaisir de vous répondre. La plus connue des imprimantes 3D à fabriquer soi-même est la RepRap. RepRap est un projet britannique de l’Université de Bath, visant à créer une imprimante tridimensionnelle en grande partie auto-réplicative et libre (c’est-à-dire sans brevet, et dont les plans seront disponibles pour tout le monde) sous licence Licence publique générale GNU. Dans les grandes lignes, le projet RepRap a pour but de permettre la création d’une machine capable de se répliquer.
