Open beam printer

Hi All,

I have been working on a printer since the end of october and thought I would share it with you
The printer uses 10meters of openbean with printed corners etc and 1204 ballscrews for the z axis,
I had hoped that smoothie boards would be available by the time I was ready for electronics but have since gone with a rumba board and solidstate realy for the heatbed, I hope you all like what I have been working on



All files for it are on thingiverse

Looks good

I just spotted your pinter by searching open beam. I was thinking about building another printer and I like this concept. I think you have done a great job and am thinking about building one to go with my Tantillus for the bigger prints. I really like how simple and clean it looks.

Assuming you have run it in quite well now is there anything you would change or are there limitiations that you have discovered? I am keen to hear how its running.

Cheers

Looks good man.

Robonz,

Im really happy with the printer, the biggest change's that im doing is a move to an all metal coldend (bullgox xl) as the mk8 drive gear airtripper isnt giving the results that I wanted, and im going to encluse the printer with some polycarb sheeting either clear or white
Also I have half finished cad designs on a conversion to corexy which might be interesting.
