So after all of this, machine looks like this. 30.JPG 29.JPG 28.JPG Next step is to work with materials, which is the most interesting part, probably, to me. I will post updates as there are some already. I have not printed with the printer yet, so I am simply hoping for the best... Now I prepare ma...

Also this control box has a UI dashboard to see and monitor things. 25.JPG All electronics is basically ATX power supply with RPI3 as host computer. There are other components that are required for Oasis. Additionally, there is a PCB to handle ATX power supply shut-down via button (as with PCs, i.e....

22.JPG 21.JPG 20.JPG As I had a requirement to put the piston in to the oven, I had to be able to remove motor. So bottom part of the piston system had easily removable motor mount. All what is left should sustain decent temperatures. Next big part was electronics. I am not electronics engineer, so...

So I machined these ring-shaped parts with lathe and pressed them tightly on the tube. Surprisingly, this solution worked really well. At this point I had perfectly circular tube. The piston itself was a huge headache, but I ended up making a sandwich of PTFE/Graphite packing. 16.JPG 15.JPG I know, ...

After all of this, the most difficult part of the project started: feeder and build pistons. As I intended to print metals, I had to come up with a completely new design. The main requirement was, perhaps, that it should have been made out of metal components only or some components out of PTFE or g...

Gantry and especially carriage part was quite similar to Oasis as there are so many parts for HP45 that I did not want to redesign. I only made some minor improvements to coater mechanism to add more flexibility and more adjusting possibilities. 8.JPG 7.JPG 6.JPG 5.JPG Actually the whole build start...

Hey all. Since I am about to finish my 3DP machine that I named “Empiric 3000”, I thought I will start sharing my progress with the printer. I did not share process of the making as it was quite long and had significant pauses due to Kungflu virus. Printer itself was finished before Kungflu virus, b...

Yeah, drop me a PM with info.

Would you be able to provide just PCBs and BOM of components in order to DIY soldering? I fully understand your concerns regarding copying though. I think that most would be just fine with bare PCBs and BOM list to purchase components separately. However, with current situation on the market, I beli...

Well, final goal is to print AISI 316 stainless steel. You might remember me, I dropped you an email many months ago with some issues regarding coordinate systems (i.e. negative vs positive etc.). I was not able to work the printer for a few months, but now I am back, I tested everything and it is r...
