Hey!! i am a 14 year old in India, i have made rc planes but now i want to enhance it with 3d printing i wont buy it, i am a creator so, how exactly do i build it and how much will it cost??
the account is of my father’s
How big do you want the printer to be? Your best bet is to buy a kit and assemble it, you can get some good ones for around $300 USD.
Check out http://reprap.org. Scavenge motors, controllers, etc from printers. “boot strap” your way up. There was a guy on here about a year ago who used lego and hot glue for a frame - looked awful, but printed not too bad. Did he go by the name Seb? Wonder how far he got. Another source of scratch built inspiration is HomoFaciens you tube channel - very educational and shows actual scratch built CNC machines https://www.youtube.com/user/HomoFaciens/videos.
Oh, and post pictures and videos of your progress! I certainly enjoy watching people build stuff!
Hmmm… I want it to be very cheap…
Look at a Tronxy X1 printer, I think it is the cheapest kit out there. Once you build it you can print some upgrade parts to make it better. It is very basic but good to learn on.
@Amarendra_Kumar a 3D printer will require time, money and brains. To some extent you can trade some of one of those for one of the others. If you are patient and crafty, it might be possible to build a simple, slow but free printer. Again, check out those sites I mentioned. Also look at http://linuxcnc.org . By taking apart old dot matrix printers that I salvaged for free along with an old computer someone gave me I used scrap material at home to build a CNC for almost nothing.
Tronxy X1 man. It’s cheap and actually prints pretty darn well.
I also tried to one by my own about 2 years ago. I do not recommend it to you, it needs a lot of time and skills. Just by one on eBay or so, the are cheap nowadays. E.g. a Prusa i3 clone costs under 100€ (a bit more than 100$) today!
Anyway, have building it
