Engineering - Hardware results

Figure 1 - Printer setup with necessary components

The principal setup of the 3D printer is shown in Figure 1. Its hardware components are explained in the following section.

For details on how the 3D printer was built, please see the printer documentation attached to the end of the Engineering Site. Besides using only commercially available parts for building the printer, several parts for special purposes were self-manufactured by generating 3D models and using commercially available 3D printers to manufacture these parts. This includes brackets between the aluminum profiles for increasing stability as well as the holders for the linear guiding and the stepper motor. Pictures of these parts can be seen in Figure 2.
