Requirements

  • A portable, high performance machine
  • Performance is defined as plug-and-play stability, and high print quality, in all materials
  • Uses high temperature, 3 mm extruder, opimized for both fast printing (E3D Volcano Nozzle) as well as flexible filaments (short and supported extrusion distance)
  • Easy to source parts
  • 3D printable frame that still allows for high stability
  • Stability of 3D printed frame may be assured via mini rebar plus concrete inside the pipes if needed
  • 8" bed for minimum viable product
  • extensible to 12" bed after 8" version is optimized
  • Includes a full Design Guide
  • Includes a FreeCAD workbench for design.
  • Has well-developed cable management
  • Has quick exchange toolheads via magnetic mount and complete unpluggability of print head using a single connector.

Concepts

  • Double Connector may be used with a 6 or 12-pair cable
  • Gauge 22 Wire Ampacity is 5A enclosed, so it is suitable. It is 2.5A with 4-6 cores.
  • DIY Cat5 splitter -[1]
