Introduction
the objective of this project is to make a 3D printer and a filament extruder this will be accomplished using parts obtained locally and cheaply
3D Printer
The 3d printer will be similar to the ultimaker using the strengths of its design
progress pics
stepper motors(arduino for scale)
diy stepper motor driver using l298/l297
arduino mega
Filament Extruder
this will melt raw plastic pellets and turn them into feedstock(filament) to be used by the printer
the extruder will be made using whatever parts that are available and some custom parts that will be made on a lathe etc
