I’m giddy with anticipation! A Box came in the mail and it lets me introduce to you the latest build project. My printer has a name:
IGentUS
It’s through the kind assistance of @igus_Inc that I hope to give a little back to the community that’s been extremely patient with my learning curve.
This is an Ingentis based printer, using polymer guides instead of metal bushings and linear bearings. The orange parts are Ingentis, the Blue parts are those I’ve printed to adapt it to the @igusInc parts, and the build volume is solidly between small and crazy huge (300x300x450, 12x12x18in)
It’ll be using braided fishing line, and I hope to strike a balance between speed, resonance, and print quality.
Hopefully it departs enough from the printers that came before to give you something to consider when you build your next printer, and I hope it does the igus parts justice as they’re SMOOOOOOOTH!
