GIANT DIY 3D PRINTER FROM SCRATCH
Ғылым және технология
In this episode I make the frame and mechanics of a giant 3D printer from scratch, why? because I need to print something really big for an incoming project. It is a Prusa clone and I'm pretty happy how it is looking right now. I will do all the wiring and programming next and hopefully It'll be back on this channel soon.
The profiles I used on this episode were gifted to me by a friend and I really liked them, these can hold M4 nuts on the channels so here goes the free plug:

I’ve always envisioned making one 800x800mm, I drew up the plans in CAD and everything, and now I’m able to financially support the project, and this video reminded me and encouraged me, I’ll be ordering the parts soon, hopefully I can make it work as good as yours looks it works

Forget the drilling, the two bits I don't like are the tapping and filing. He needs to get the tap squarer to the hole to ensure the threads come out square to the end. As for filing, he needs to lift on the back stroke to get a flatter surface

exactly what I was thinking, that mirror + the weight of the print, is massive. tahts a lot of weight moving around especially on belts, would have been better having the mirror on z with a couple of ball screws, and nozzle on x and y. That's what I'm currently building but 400x400 although will take a while, buying a couple of things a month. Titan aqua is expensive. also cant decide what board at the moment, do love the duets interface over marlin, but they are expensive.

Your original large printer build is what brought me to your channel. Seems nostalgic to see you build another one!
I'd recommend adding a support across the middle of the bottom of the mirror. I feel like that much unsupported glass could cause the mirror to bend slightly and could result in an uneven surface. Love the design though!!!

FDM printer time is dependent on volume, which is third power of printed object height (=not really scalable). Resin printers on the other hand take time proportional only to object height itself (=lineary scalable)... The printing time of "Radon transform 3D printers" is (theoreticaly) not related to the object size at all (=very scalable). So i guess for very big prints we will need to change the technology (as long as we're not willing to go with huge nozzles, eg. like they did in concrete casting 3D printers)
@Chlorate299

@@harviecz large volume SLA machines have existed for quite a long time, I've personally had some entire gearbox casings SLA printed... The issue isn't scalability, the issue is material properties - SLA resins produce nice smooth surfaces but they're incredibly brittle and have terrible thermal properties. FDM carries a fairly huge advantage in the diverse range of materials that can be printed.

not gonna lie, i cried a little when i saw you cut the threads :D
Ivan, you are insane...insanely awesome build!
Wow....this, was, SO EPIC!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! My favorite video and am now subscribing thank you.
You might want to put a cross-brace in the middle of your "mirror-carrier" so it wouldn't bow in the middle over time. Maybe also upgrade the belts to 9 or 12mm. The bed weights a lot probably and you've done well by using 2 motors to drive it. However, the belts (given they are the standard 6mm belts) will stretch a lot faster by slinging that weight :P So bigger belts can resist the higher torque, resulting in less slack over time, and better prints! Nice job however :D Already looking forward to the next 5 videos!
NICE!!! looks like a CR 10000 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍😍😍
Great job milling the rail with a router. It was a fantastic idea!

This printer will forever be known as the "Crazy Ivan" and nothing can sway me from this point of view.
This is an interesting build. I've been debating building my own large-form printer. I'm curious how far you can scale this without it causing warping/weight issues? Also, I've always wondered why nobody ever seems to use linear rails for these builds?
Glad to see you making a new printer again. I first became a subscriber with the old printer builds.
can't wait for next part Awsome Ivan It look great
Amazing video! Thanks for sharing! However, I wonder if, for such a huge and impressive printer like this one, wouldn't it be better to use a Core XY instead? Additionally, what kind of mirror glass are you using? Regular? Is the surface too brittle? I love your videos! Please keep it up! :)
Curious as to why you drilled through the extrusion instead of using T nuts and angle brackets for the frame.

BUT for lot of my projects is not to enought bed with size 330x330 ... so I am bulding CUBE printers by myself ... now I am working on printer for printing BIG SCALE RC TANKS with 900x350x250mm dimensions ... in building progress is next printer with dual printing head that print 2x dimension in X axis in same time ... dimensions 2x 400x300x250mm ... one driver to X axis with 2 motors (1 LEFT / 1 RIGHT) no needs tension for belt on X axis ... one driver for 2 extruder motors ... note: about HEATBED ... I am not using heatbeds on all my printers, heatbeds are DISABLED and wires are out from beds, I ma printing on cold borosilicate 4mm glass sheets only with spray adhezion tool (3DLak) and no problems printing everythink what I want/need ... I am printing PLA, ASA275 and sometimes PETG ... no ABS, TPU etc. materials ... and for BIG bed sizes bigger than 330x330 is 0.6 nozzle right choice ... same layer with bigger nozzle = same result with shorter printing time about 20% ... with same quality so thats is reaction to your comment ... who can build printer as DIY project at home, never build 220x220x220 ... for this size is ENDER 3 straight to buy from Aliexpress ...

Absolutely. I think there's probably going to be an upgrade video or two down the line after that problem comes up. Probably the easiest option would be a diagonal brace to support the center of the bed and restrict sagging to a few cm from the corners that aren't over the brace bar.

@MichaelKingsfordGray You're right, I was stuck on the bed, instead of the whole Y carriage. It's definitely beyond the means of the kind of springs that'd normally get that job, but lock nuts might be able to do the job well enough. (Though it's definitely a speed cap either way.) If not, it could be down to a fixed bed mount, which is going to take a hobbyist's fortune in measurement tools to set, and linear rails instead of V-rollers to take out some of the wobble potential. Not that I wasn't already convinced, but I'm seeing another good reason to go CoreXY at this scale.
