Revision as of 17:28, 4 December 2018

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 v18.10 - 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. Print area: using 2016 extruder holder eats up bed space; need to optimize bed space. Print volume: optimize extruder mounting to access 3" of additional vertical space with horizontal X axis mounting.

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.
