Care to 3D print your next house? Really BIG 3D printers are coming! Our heavy duty, open source, stepper motor drivers (The THB6064AH from
http://www.linistepper.com ) are driving this beast. It’s actually a prototype that fills a 2 car garage and prints segments of full sized walls with space for insulation, insets for windows, doors, etc…

@James_Newton just writing an article as we speak about 3D printing houses. Would you to be in a Hangout in a few weeks where we discuss the concept?

Happy to help in any way I can.

will keep you posted then @James_Newton Thanks.

@James_Newton Is this a bot you are directly involved in? I wonder if they’ve looked at the Troweling method that contour crafting have been using? I assume it improves the surface finish of the concrete part and controls slumping.

@Tim_Rastall I was involved in the stepper motor drivers that run the large motors, and with the adapters to allow those drivers to be used with the standard 3D printer controller board. The concrete and extruder are “magic” to me. Andrey (owner of the youtube channel) is the guy to ask about that.
