Hi, I am a Malaysian chinese, I know about 3D printer 5 years ago, at the time 3D printer was super amazing to me.I really want to build my own 3D printer, but that time i was young, I have insufficient knowledge, skill and tools. I can only keep my dream deep inside my heart.
After I start to work, I learn I gain my experience, finally I have the ability to build my very first machine in my life.
Of course, when we said about build, a starter should be a concept, research, availability, idea, design, drawing and build. My concept is high speed printing, good accuracy, stable, silent. Long life service, safe, handsome, able to print some storng material like abs, nylon, pom.
So I had used core xy design for my build. I choose ultumaker 1.5.7 as my motherboard, MK8 extruder, 100w servo motor x2 , H57 stepper motor, full metal structures, heater in enclosure environment with double layer plate so outside of the printer is cool to touch. Build size around xyz 260 x 260 x 300mm, inductive sensor attached for auto bed level features. 10mm 6061 aluminium print bed with 600w heater attached.
Actually, a lot of part I get it with FOC, remove from old machine, save me a lot of money. I have used cheap chinese linear bearing LM12UU with cage, around 1USD each. The problem come after I complete the machine I realized the cheap bearing has a lot free play and make a lot knocking noise when accelerating stop. I decided change to better Japanese NSK linear bearing and new linear rod. (the liner rod is pull from old machine), some safety components like thermal fuse, ELCB.
I will upload some photo later...
