3D Printer Genealogy

• Kittaz - 2014
• Folgertech Prusa i3 - 2016; deprecated, entry level model for quick learning; not high on OSE Spec of modularity + scalability.
• D3D - builds started in 2017 - using the Universal Axis system. Open Source Ecology headquarters.
• D3D Germany - Oliver
• D3D Australia - German
• D3D Saudi Arabia
• D3D v18.01 - 12" bed, steel frame
• D3D_Ohio_v18.02 - PVC pipe 12" bed
• D3D v18.04 - PVC pipe, 8" bed
• D3D v18.06 - Lawrence Build. Main trunk, 8" version.
• D3D v18.06.12 - Ruslan in Hamburg - fork with aluminum frame.
• D3D v18.06.21 - Oregon Build. Main trunk, 8" bed.
• D3D v18.07 - Main trunk. 8" bed.
• D3D v18.08 - Main Trunk Continued
• D3D v18.09 - Remove Magnets, Use JB Weld + Plastic Bearings
• D3D v18.09.1 - back to Titan Aero
• D3D v18.10 - (renamed from D3D v18.09.2 for simplicity). Uses Titan Aero. Full Product Release as in our official current D3D Manaul v18.10 - the 3D Printer Manual
• D3D v18.11 - 12" bed version.

Change Log

• As of 12/3/18 - known bugs are: positive bump endstop holder does not fit around motor just by 1 mm, whereas magnets worked before as they had play. Print Cooling Fan: needs nozzle optimization. X axis mounting: needs procedure optimization for axis tightness.

Hint: Note that to design new versions of the 3D printer, you want to use small, simple files. We have ones ~20k for each axis.

• Note that D3D_Part_Library#Assembly_Index contains the simplified assemblies. These are to be used any time that a new version of the 3D printer is to be designed from scratch.
• Simplified axis files - X, Y, Z - the smallest ones today are also used on the D3D CNC Circuit Mill
• D3D Integration has files that are on the order of 5MB and 1MB for each axis. Still too large for prototyping.
