Building a 3D printer
(1/2) > >>
RoGeorge:
Years ago I ordered most of the parts for a 3D printer, but never proceed to assemble them.

It was not a kit, just various components that I picked myself, starting from the idea of a big delta printer, bigger in size than a Kossel XXL, if possible, and without knowing much about 3D printers.

It was an impulse order, being hyped after reading and watching 3D printing videos for a whole weekend.   ;D

Once the order placed, some time has passed between the order and the moment the packages start to arrive (it was with regular AliExpress shipping, between 3-10 weeks of waiting) so the hype went away.  Also, when received, not all the parts were exactly what I was ordered (a few shipping mistakes), so I need to reorder them and wait even more.  By the time I had enough parts to start assembling them, all the enthusiasm of heaving a 3D printer was long gone.

TL;DR
Meantime hoarded all the parts, except the flatbed (and optionally a heatbed), size not yet decided.
Just checked the ordering dates.  It's been 4 years.   ::)

Guess I should start assemble these.

Cool - a 3D printer build thread!

I have parts for major projects that I've neglected for 20 years or more. Try to move faster than I do!

Don`t we all. There is a 90% completed snow canon like the ski resorts use sitting at a friends house since 2006. We got just far enough for the first test runs and then winter was over and it was too warm to ever really dial it in.
