Description:
Welcome to the one stop guide for designing and building a 3D printer from open sourced parts. The 3D printer is the ultimate DIYer’s tool to quickly make his or her idea a reality. All the concepts and parts that go into building a 3D printer can be overwhelming. Dr. D-Flo breaks down the fundamentals behind fused filament fabrication (FFF) into bite size and digestible topics, including linear rail, carriages, stepper motors, extruders, stepper drivers, control boards, and more. Dr. D-Flo’s tips will help you choose the correct parts that fit your custom design.
For further exploration, visit my dedicated “How to build a 3D Printer“ webpage () and while you’re there, continue the conversation on my forum (). Special thanks to Stephen and his design of the Zidex printer () which inspired this video and was a great teaching tool.
