Design motivation
- Large print volume with low construction volume.
- Fixed bed (for printing thin and high objects).
- Coverable (covers can be placed directly on the frame).
- Simple design (easy to build, no custom HW needed).
- Most parts reused from a Prusa i3 style printer
Construction advantages
- Less space on desk
- Lighter construction (and little cheaper)
- Faster chamber heating and lower heat losses
Source of material
The goal is to convert Prusa i3 style printer (extruder on X on Z axis, bed on Y axis) into cubic case with fixed bed. At the same time keeping the outer dimensions small with flat sides of frame to attach covers. Unfortunately, you have to buy some parts to achieve small footprint while preserving sturdiness of the frame and axes.
