Bukobot (or just Buko) is the 3D printer designed by Deezmaker. The intent of this DIY 3D printer is to create a new generation of Repraps based on this framework. Here are some highlights:

The "Bukobot" low cost Open Source 3D Printer with a roll of Blue ABS filament
  • Aluminium frame
  • Very easily expandable in any direction
  • Designed to handle Dual (or even more in theory) extruders with very little effort
  • Very minimal calibration or adjustments of frame
  • No laser cut parts
  • No special machined parts (except for maybe an extruder hot end)
  • Much lower cost than most RepRaps without sacrificing rigidity
  • Can be used with nearly any combination of electronics
  • Takes advantage of new common materials like UHMW & Synchromesh Cables
  • Designed to easily purpose (upgrade) an existing RepRap like the Prusa Mendel and Printrbot
