Printrbot Plus Overkill!

Much better than going big on the Z axis!

You could print one of those crazy late '90s super long pizzas whose promotional name I forget.

…or something useful, I guess… but why would you want to do that?

Sometimes I think you guys at Printrbot have too much time on your hands haha :wink: I love it!

Hahaha! Hilarious!

Longboard production?

Now that it works… What should I print?

  1. Longboard
  2. ??

Wind turbine blades :slight_smile: It would be really cool to be able to print large enough blades to be able to make prototype shapes or even finished DIY blades for residential turbines.

I wonder how much you could actually print to make a working and durable turbine?

Longboard sounds good. But how will that work without a heated bed? Or do you have one hidden under there?

Long coffee stirrers. Swords. Bo-staff. Hand rail bannisters. Crown moldings. Baseball bats.

Update extruder > spindle and you have yourself a winner

You could print a strand of 3mm filament?

Or several strands, side by side.

O_o

@Matej_Rozman we have used the same drive gear for 4 years w/o any problems. We think it’s a perfect match :wink:

@Brook_Drumm ​ I belive you 100%, but this size and extruder doesn’t match up. Milling in this domenziones it’s just…let’s say…space years ahead…put it in worp drive :wink:

@Brook_Drumm did I see straight? It’s the bot that is moving and not the bed ?

Yep. The bed is stationary. The bot moves
:wink:
Bd

Love the concept. Will you release some drawing/picture of the mechanics of it ?

You could actually print some star wars - jedi lightsaber !

Oh
