.ctor-bot is a simple, cheap and easy to build 3D printer. Ctor-bot-view.png

The goal was to build a printer with bigger print volume than Prusa Mendel.

Chassis based on M8 screw rods, strong pyramidal design and It has mount holes to the wooden plate to increase the stability of the printer.

It uses standard 220x220mm aluminium heated bed, E3D V6 hotend (clone) with Bowden type extruder. You can use any cheap one from China.

Build size is 220 x 220 x 200 mm (xyz).

Z axis has bearing stabilizers to reduce z-wobbling.

All parts are easy to find.


Screw rods M8:

4 x 452 mm - Z pyramid diagonals.

4 x 423 mm - Z verticals.

2 x 330 mm - Z-axis motor screw. I used standard M8 rods.

2 x 466 mm - For top X.

4 x 450 mm - For bottom X.

2 x 480 mm - For Y.

2 x 180 mm - For spool holder, optional.

Smooth rods, 8mm:

2 x 420 mm - Z.

2 x 420 mm - Y.

2 x 405 mm - X.

You also need 14pcs of 608 bearings:

8pcs for Z stabilizers. 2pcs for Z screw bottom support. 2pcs for Y belt pulley (idler) 2pcs for spool holder, optional

And a lot of M8 nuts and spacers also as M3 with different sizes.

.ctor-bot has a standard Graphical 128x64 display and Arduino Mega with RAMPS 1.4 extension board. Also, you need 3pcs standard RepRap mechanical endstops.
