I set up a little project page. I'll update it from time to time when I got time and new stuff happened.

I always wanted a 3D printer of my own. Since no commercially available machine fulfilled all of my requirements I went designing my own.
Goals/Requirements
The requirements listed above manly originate from the fact that I need the printer to be big enough to produce highly integrated (high quality) parts for my drone(s). At the same time it needs to fit inside something like a kitchen cabinet since this is the only place where I can store the printer for now.
The design is heavily inspired by the HyperCube, RailCore II 300ZL and E3D Motion System (Toolchanger).
It is still not perfect, but it does produce great looking parts. The Z-axis wobble is fixed for the most part.
I am also developing a custom HMI for the printer. Sort of a DIY alternative for the PanelDue. It will be optimized for 3.5" displays and can be connected via WiFi or the PanelDue port. If you source the parts yourselfe it costs around 25€-30€.
I set up a forum post on the official Duet forum.

Goals/Requirements
- Max. package: 550x490x500 mm
- Min. print volume: 300x300x300 mm
- Budged: 1500€ – 2000€
- Fast print speeds: >100 mm/s
- High quality prints: Equal of better than other printers in that price range (Ultimaker 3, RailCore II, Zortrax M200, etc.)
- Capable of printing engineering-grade materials (ABS, Nylon, etc.)
- Option to upgrade to multi-material printhead
- Easy to manufacture: No access to NC-Machines
