Conveyor Belt 3D Printer

Basics

• A FDM (or potential Material Jetting ) 3D Printer which has a Conveyor Belt as a Print Bed
• Allows for a near infinite axis in one direction
  • This does have the caveat of requiring a 45* Tilt of the X/Y axis which can add some challenges/change the approach for DFAM
• Build Surface can be an issues as well
  • One can’t use PEI Coated Flexible Build Plates or Borosilicate Glass
• Some versions use a plastic or rubberized fabric (akin to a Treadmill)
• The best option as per the designer of the Open Source White Knight/Squire Belt Printers was a Single Weld Stainless Steel Belt that was PEI coated

Existing DIY/OS Versions
