I've built a giant 3D printer with a build volume of 1110mmx1110mmx2005mm that adds up to more than 2.5 m3 build volume.
This is my largest build to date and as far as I know is the largest DIY 3D printer in the world. And I've designed it from scratch keeping in mind that anyone should be able to attempt tbis build so each one of the parts of this build fit in a 200x200 mm print bed.
This is part 1 of the build where I complete the frame and the CoreXY assembly, including the carriage with the hotend, extruder etc.

What kind of filaments do you need for the arc reactor? I mean, it needs to WORK, right? And that means a power source.

Hey Ivan, if you are not going to be moving this printer much, you might think about securing it to the wall or floor with bracing, that would instantly increase the rigidity of the frame quite a bit. Nice job on the new printer!!! Been missing some Ivan Miranda content, hope the next video is coming sooner that later, as you do a great job with all your projects!!!! 😀

@@saxplayingcompnerd I don´t think thats going to be an issue as long as the wall is a brick wall. Also the frequencies are probably much different compared to small 3d Printers. I just have a big concrete slab under my printer with an enclosure and vibrations are not a problem any more

Ivan, your engineering is awesome!! Thank you! There are at least a dozen little details (materials, part numbers, manufacturers, vendors, design decisions, etc.) in your build that could use a video each to discuss. I hope you consider doing so.
I couldn't imagine printing all of this out. I get halfway through a small project and my printer starts giving me fits and I give up for months at a time. This would never get finished if I was doing it. I applaud you sir.
Now, lets make a 20m x 20m version, and lets print a small school in vase mode 🤪 You work is INSANELY cool, the builds are AMAZING, your video edits are so fascinating, I just love this !
Great work! Consider using Rivet Nuts on such thin aluminium walls. They are way stronger than simple thread i.n 2mm wall. And quite efficient on assembly
I’m so obsessed with these videos, and just the idea of setting into a big project like this. I can’t wait to have my dream workshop and be able to spend my days tinkering and creating.
hey Ivan, You might want to consider looking at a way to use a pellet extruder in one of these awsome printers!, WAY higher threwput so would be realy nice for very larg prints! Another youtuber named Doctor D flow uses one and the prints come out realy fast!
Your projects are truly exceptional and serve as a great source of inspiration! Thank you for generously sharing your work with the entire 3D printing community. ❤
Impresionante Ivan, te has vuelto a superar. La edición también es sublime, esa especie de stop motion taladrando y atornillando te quedó genial.
This channel is going from big to HUGE and I'm loving it!! We need DIY now more than ever, that k you ❤️
You never cease to amaze me, Ivan! Keep making; I'll keep watching!
I'd love to know how much time it took to print the parts, how long it took to put together, and how much it cost overall! It's a beautiful design.

The costs of things is hard. Aluminum can be harder to source in some places and much easier in others. He could have spent say $1000 USD on his but it would cost you $2000 USD and me $800 USD. Time to print and build time though would be interesting.

Magnificent. Order from chaos. If only the world could be assembled as perfectly and harmoniously as your builds. 👏👏👏
I'm new to all of this 3d printing stuff, but wow am I impressed! Incredible build! You're an absolute legend Ivan!
Thank you for doing such good wire management! Solid engineering all around.
have you thought of a print head that has a xy head, like regular sized printer that moves on a different xy head to get away from that the bigger you go the bigger the moving mass, you'd just slowly move the other xy around to move the xy that actually can do fast movements(but is limited in travel to 20x20 or whatever)? so you could still do local moves at 120mm/s or whatever with regular drivers, while that contraption then would be moved around slower while it's doing it's thing

I thought about doing something like this several years ago but with a Delta for the secondary. The problem with any sort of sub-tool assembly like these is that the person designing it will have to figure out how the kinematics interact and tell that to the firmware, as well as telling the firmware how to prioritize one set of kinematics over the other.
@lasskinn474
11 ай бұрын
@@claws61821 yea there's different ways to do the kinematics, but that there isn't a pre-existing firmware definitely is a barrier, like with just more axis on a board and gcode pre-processor - let the existing look ahead and max speeds per axis and acceleration per axis routines just do as they already do and leave the firmware with not messed with(messes with fw pressure advance when moving them same time, but otherwise it's pretty much okay if a fw doesn't really know where the head is as long as the axis just move whatever they're told). I think early reprap morgans used this if i remember right and some early other alternative kinematics just used this preprocess the gcode method and run the printer as far as the printer knew as a normal xy printer. works fine enough for tinkering. not that it still would make writing the preprocessor simple, but performance wouldn't matter as it's not handled realtime. - or do it on the fly(hardest I'd think) with look ahead to see where to move the slower head while printing with with the fast one - basically same as the first one. - or a bunch of scripts and slice in 20x20 (or how much the head can move) segments and print the segments sequentally, interleave the gcode one segments one layer at a time and add the move to the next segment and then move the printhead just to the next segment area(simplest mathematics to figure out), and once all of the grid of segments is finished, raise z and go around again. simplest because you wouldn't be moving the heads at the same time, making everything conceptually much easier - at the same time it would be the jankiest of these 3. although this would make it simplest to run 2 of the printing heads idex style(or more). but yea you can't just chop off an ultimaker top end and glue it to this printer and call it a day, a LOT of the development time would go into the supporting software.
Es impresionante lo que hace este hombre. Eres un crack Iván. Muchas gracias por todo lo que haces. Enhorabuena
LOVED that little red rod guide bit you made for the interior of the extruded aluminum. That was a brilliant solution to that known issue.
Amazing work! Your videos never disappoint.
I love your work Ivan. The lenghts you go to design these huge printers is awesome I just wish I could make my own.
Your projects are so unique and inspiring to watch! Thank you for sharing this with the rest of the 3D printing community. ❤
You are, without doubt, a genius. This has been so beautifully designed and created. Thank you.

But really enjoy this stuff? I know you get it? My idea is a simple cnc cutter to make a mold for a foam deck ring? This could be so simple? Great work? Thank you for the ideas and inspiration?
WOW! That is a _very_ clean assembly Ivan. Great job. I can't wait for the next video.
to me, this device must use a 1mm nozzle, just as you chose. maybe even larger. and since this printer is so large, a filament extruder or a direct pellet extruder might be a cost saving method. the prints will be hardly below 15kg, so even a small print costs quite a lot (don't get me started on recycling of failed prints). suggestion for a first print: a benchie that can carry a person and has an electro motor.

This is what I'm here for: absolutely bonkers scale. Can't wait to see how this turns out. Going for a print-in-place tank? 😁 Thanks for sharing!
So impressed, as always. Well done. 👏🏻
looking at all these parts got me exited, i got a project I've been wanting to make an oversized printer for to be able to print mold negatives, and this is about the correct size, just the wrong angle but its so modular that it can easily be rotated, so with very little modification I think this solves the whole issue itself of even thinking about it, leaving me with only the filament production side to deal with, which is already mostly solved on its own, and perhaps it would also be something you might run into, filament prices and limited spool sizes as they may be, where as the size and weight issue of a hopper feed head come in, so hopper feed into spool creation then that spool into the printer and boom, now a giant hopper can feed the printer from right next to it without having effect on the weight of the head
Always enjoy seeing the newer & bigger builds
The insert to hold the rod center was pretty slick. I liked that part

Have you ever think to design a 5 axis 3d printer or a cnc mill?? It will be amazing to see a creation of yours on this kind of machines, all your videos are amazing never missed one since I watch one of your big 3d printers.
Thank you for marking the Onshape bit as sponsored! I've seen them on so many channels lately and none of them have even mentioned that they're doing paid promotion. I kinda feel like Onshape is specifically telling people not to mention the sponsorship and just talk about the service, which would be super shady.
Absolutely ludicrously massive printer, has more reasonable touch probe offsets than most desktop machines.
Ivan, that is so cool! It's like you know what you're doing! 😉😜
Ivan; you should consider putting some deployable workbench caster wheels on this so you can move it around easier with less risk of warping the frame. They sell sets of four that stow and deploy on cam levers.
