Specifications

Main improvements

This list is of the improvements and special features compared to most RepRap 3D printers:

  • large format
  • expandability, allowing for the creation of larger or smaller printers

Development

The NXT3D is currently in the development stage and is being prototyped

History

Printed Parts

Frame type

The Frame of the NXT3D is constructed of lightweight, strong aluminum 20x20 extrusions.


pros:

- light and sturdy - modifiable

con:

- slightly more complicated construction method


Electronics

Stepper Motors

Controller Electronics

About any RepRap controller works for the Omega3D. Required features: 4 stepper drivers, 1 thermistor input and 1 heater output for the extruder and optionally another thermistor/heater pair for the heated bed. Choosing the best one for your printer is mostly a matter of taste. For comparisons, see List of electronics, Comparison of Electronics and Alternative Electronics.

Extruder

Extruder The Omega3D uses a bowden extruder, adding flexibility and speed to the extruder nozzle.

Heated Bed

Heated Bed The basic model of the Omega3D does not include a heated bed, thus making PLA a recommended filament.
