GIANT DIY 3D PRINTER FROM SCRATCH

In this episode I make the frame and mechanics of a giant 3D printer from scratch, why? because I need to print something really big for an incoming project. It is a Prusa clone and I'm pretty happy how it is looking right now. I will do all the wiring and programming next and hopefully It'll be back on this channel soon.

The profiles I used on this episode were gifted to me by a friend and I really liked them, these can hold M4 nuts on the channels so here goes the free plug:

And the files for the parts can be found here:

I’ve always envisioned making one 800x800mm, I drew up the plans in CAD and everything, and now I’m able to financially support the project, and this video reminded me and encouraged me, I’ll be ordering the parts soon, hopefully I can make it work as good as yours looks it works

I'm thousands of miles away from my 3D printer right now since I'm currently deployed in Kuwait, but your videos are making want to go back for bigger, better designs and prints! Love your work! So inspiring! Also your happiness is contagious! Love from Puerto Rico🇵🇷

You know this guy is a pro, when he can drill perfectly straight holes with a hand drill. Way too advanced for me lol.

Sir id just like to tell u ur my absolute favorite person on earth

The best part about this design is that it can be scaled up or down fairly easily once it’s finished

I'm so proud of your, Ivan. Since I started watching you building a, for then "giant" 3D printer, that took you more than a month in your tiny compacted workbench. Now you're a grown maker and you do incredible things, but the quality is always been supreme. Thanks for your happiness and the love you put in your work and that you send us across the screen

For a bed this size it might make sense to move the gantry back and forth instead of the bed.

That mirror has to weigh a zillion pounds (that’s about half a zillion kilos)!

[TalkingGIJoe]

Your laugh at 9:32 says it all! Love this project and it is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks for sharing!

[andrewy]

I'd recommend adding a support across the middle of the bottom of the mirror. I feel like that much unsupported glass could cause the mirror to bend slightly and could result in an uneven surface. Love the design though!!!

I seen a lot of big printers made I still think yours is the best. I always wanted to print an adult size big wheel.

[JMTosses]

WOAH! Now I must build that 19" 3D printer that had been bouncing around in my brain for over a year ... no more excuses! Excellent video as always. Thank you for sharing! Cheers! JM

@Ivan Miranda every time my friends or someone online gets spooled up about the 555mm-cubed printer I'm planning, and how I should use rails, and make it corexy, etc... I'm SO thankful that you made this beast a fairly simple bed-slinger. I almost get talked into the additional expense and complexity of adding linear rails, and switching to corexy kinematics, and then I think of this huge, perfectly capable printer and smile. It earned you another Patreon sub. Thanks!

[xandersnyder]

Hands down one of my favorite channels!

Your projects are always really awesome and your enthusiasm makes it that much more fun!!

[coolio]

You're a brilliant man and engineer, your videos only increase in quality and you inspire thousands, myself included. Thank you.

[SashaYein]

This is so well documented and it’s like everything you need to make it is right in front of you, except I personally could not get those drilling skills overnight lol. Awesome content!

[JonathanKayne]

Your original large printer build is what brought me to your channel. Seems nostalgic to see you build another one!

[patprop]

That looks alright Ivan, look forward in seeing how it serves you over time.

[gerleimarci]

You definitely need an E3D Supervolcano for this.

[a.sanusinazareth]

You look ... "uncontrollable man". I don't see that! I see your work! AWESOME !!!! Clear, details enough and wow - I can make my own too after seeing your video, bor !
Great job!

not gonna lie, i cried a little when i saw you cut the threads :D
