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:
- 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
