Just Showing Off My Printer

Hey cs900,

Very nice work!

I am extremely interested in build photos, and anything else you'd like to share about the build.
I am "watching" this thread so I don't miss them.

What is the outer frame size?
What is the max. print envelope?

Thanks,
-brino
 
thanks. I'll get a bunch more pictures. They are all on my grabcad account, and I have yet to figure out how to share them without needing a log-in first. but if you have an account, you're welcome to try and look at them.

also, I was curious how uniformly the bed was heating, so i borrowed my buddies flir1. Pretty neat stuff, and looks pretty uniform. I'm happy with it!

Underside has a bit of variation, but that MIC6 table seems to even it out well

And just for fun, the E3d volcano head:

Very nice work.

You have knowledge of the printing game, how far away is compositing other materials to replace what is now done by powder metallurgy?
 
not to get anyone too excited, but looks like santa will be bringing me another E3d volcano assembly as well an an IR differential prox sensor, so duel heads and self leveling bed are just around the corner...
 
Please keep us posted. You've done a super nice job and it is something I am very interested in. I may want to copy a bunch of your ideas and build my own printer in the future.
 
Fantastic looking machine. Please post some more on this. We would love to see some video and some prints. I am seriously considering a build like this.
Can you elaborate on the belt drive and why it looks so complex?
Why do you need a self leveling bed if driven by lead screws on steppers?
