Hello, In this instructable I will show you how to make a very low cost, lightweight

3D printer. This 3D printer is about the same size of the printrbot simple, but has a

bigger print bed at 6x 5.5x 4 Inches, weighs less than the printrbot simple at about

5.1 pounds, the printrbot simple weighs around 7 pounds.

New instructions should be much easier to follow and I've included more photos.

(/id/Edge-3D-Printer-V20/)

Using the M3 10mm screws mount the Nema 17 stepper motor to the main acrylic

piece. This is the piece that has the most mounting holes. Do this for both the both

the x and z motors. Now mount the SC8UU bearings. To do this, push M3 25mm

bolts through the four mounting holes, put the bearing on top of the acrylic, push

the bolts through the acrylic piece and add nuts and tighten them until they can't

wobble.

Step 4: Wire Motors to the RAMPS board(http://cdn.instructables.com/F2N/POK9/I8CVWQ8N/F2NPOK9I8CVWQ8N.LARGE.jpg)

(http://cdn.instructables.com/FT5/HHBF/I8CVWS0E/FT5HHBFI8CVWS0E.LARGE.jpg)

In this step, we wire the stepper motors to the controller board. Do this by plugging

the motor cable into the connector board. On the board, there are headers that you

connect the cable to. Don't worry about polarity: this won't affect the motor, it will

just spin in reverse which you can invert in the firmware.

Step 5: De-solder USB-B and Mount it to the Acrylic Side

(http://cdn.instructables.com/FQT/GPS0/I8CVWSC4/FQTGPS0I8CVWSC4.LARGE.jpg)

Extend arduino's USB connector by desoldering the type b connector and just

adding wires to each of the pins bringing the wires to the connector. It sounds

complicated, but it is really simple.

Step 6: Wire the Rest of the Connections

(http://cdn.instructables.com/FNN/EDWZ/I8CVWQ8O/FNNEDWZI8CVWQ8O.LARGE.jpg)

(http://cdn.instructables.com/FIF/39FQ/I8CVWSIL/FIF39FQI8CVWSIL.LARGE.jpg)

Use the image provided to wire the rest of the connections.

Connect both of the red wires from the hotend to D10 (the screw terminal) and +.

Again the polarity does not matter at this moment because the hotend is just

shorting out a flame proof resistor to heat up. Then wire the thermistor wires to T0

on the board. The polarity also does not matter on this one because it is a resistor.

(http://cdn.instructables.com/F0P/KYHA/I8CVWSRY/F0PKYHAI8CVWSRY.LARGE.jpg)

Step 7: Couple the Z Motor Shaft to the Threaded Rod

Couple the Z motor shaft to the Z motor rod using the coupler.

(http://cdn.instructables.com/FZJ/IXKG/I8CVWTD8/FZJIXKGI8CVWTD8.LARGE.jpg)

Step 8: Make the Extruder

Mount the part called "current extruder" to the motor connected to the extruder

motor driver on the RAMPS board. Now, push the direct drive gear onto the motor

shaft and secure it by screwing in the setscrew, then add the 625ZZ bearing onto

the circular mount next to the direct drive gear.

(http://cdn.instructables.com/FKD/ZGNH/I8CVWUK9/FKDZGNHI8CVWUK9.LARGE.jpg)

Step 9: Mount Power Jack

(http://cdn.instructables.com/FYK/9MB0/I8CVWWAT/FYK9MB0I8CVWWAT.LARGE.jpg)

Mount the power jack on the back acrylic piece (the one with the maple leaf on it).

(http://cdn.instructables.com/FCF/8DD1/I8CVWUVK/FCF8DD1I8CVWUVK.LARGE.jpg)

Step 10: Build the Enclosure

(http://cdn.instructables.com/FFM/OGVD/I8CVWW02/FFMOGVDI8CVWW02.LARGE.jpg)

(http://cdn.instructables.com/FHU/SVFG/I8CVWW0R/FHUSVFGI8CVWW0R.LARGE.jpg)

Route all of the wiring from step 10 through the opening in the top piece (near the Z

motor) Glue the ramps board to the bottom piece using hot glue.

You can now assemble the whole enclosure with some of the M3 screws and nuts.

DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. If you do the acrylic will eventually crack that's what

happened to my acrylic so keep that in mind while tightening the screws. The

enclosure comes together like a puzzle and there should be only one possible way

to put it together.

Step 11: Build X-axis

(http://cdn.instructables.com/FOF/L0LR/I8CVWW23/FOFL0LRI8CVWW23.LARGE.jpg)

(http://cdn.instructables.com/FYE/9LSI/I8CVWYYR/FYE9LSII8CVWYYR.LARGE.jpg)

Glue the endstop for the x axis to the left side of the top acrylic piece in between

the two SC8UU bearings. Mount the 3d printed X axis part where the x axis motor

is. Then press-mount the two 625zz bearings onto the 3D printed piece.

(http://cdn.instructables.com/FGE/W084/I8CVWZ0Q/FGEW084I8CVWZ0Q.LARGE.jpg)

Step 12: Z-Axis

To start the Z-axis, mount the Z-stabilizer piece to the primary Z motor (the motor at

the back of the printer) with some M3 10mm bolts. Then push the two Z smooth

rods through the two parallel holes in front of the Z motor.

Step 13: Y Axis

(http://cdn.instructables.com/F28/CGH6/I8CVXN23/F28CGH6I8CVXN23.LARGE.jpg)

(http://cdn.instructables.com/F12/4G47/I8CVXOHH/F124G47I8CVXOHH.LARGE.jpg)

(http://cdn.instructables.com/FME/WLLE/I8CVXQ08/FMEWLLEI8CVXQ08.LARGE.jpg)

To make the Y axis start by mounting the Y axis stepper motor to the part called

"latest z axis part" and putting the GT2 pulley on the motor shaft and tighten the

setscew to secure it onto the shaft. Then press fit the Y axis rods into the 8mm

holes on the side of the part.

For The Extruder Mount: To start the extruder mount, slide in the LM8UU

bearings into the bearing holes ( The 16mm holes) and use super glue or JB weld

to make sure that they wont slide out of place. After the bearings are in place,

mount the ceramic hotend into the hole at the bottom of the 3D printed part and

again use JB weld to secure it in.

Continuing the Rest of the Y Axis: Slide the extruder mount's bearings through

the rods attached to the "latest z axis part" and slide the "latest Y end cap" onto the

Y axis smooth rods. Now fit the GT2 belt through the rectangular holes on the

extruder mount. Then, loosely fit the end of the GT2 belt through the rectangular

hole in the back of the "latest y axis end cap". Finally add the 608zz bearing into

the rectangular hole and put the whole assembly ontop of the threaded Z axis rods,

making sure that the one of the threaded rods goes through the 608zz bearing.

Now you can add the Y axis end stop, currently I don't have a mount for it so you

will have to just superglue it making sure that it clicks when the extruder assembly is

at its minimum point.

Step 14: Power Supply

(http://cdn.instructables.com/F15/8ZJU/I8CVXQ54/F158ZJUI8CVXQ54.LARGE.jpg)

(http://cdn.instructables.com/FRQ/BX0Z/I8CVXQ55/FRQBX0ZI8CVXQ55.LARGE.jpg)

(http://cdn.instructables.com/FWI/44OT/I8CVXKYG/FWI44OTI8CVXKYG.LARGE.jpg)

You need a way to power the 3d printer of course! A really cheap and simple

power supply is an ATX power supply from a computer so if you have an old

computer power supply laying around you can put it to good use. To use it you

must solder the green wire (Power Good) to any ground wire (Black wire) these

(http://cdn.instructables.com/FCN/48GA/I8CVXL3Z/FCN48GAI8CVXL3Z.LARGE.jpg)

wires are normally used to detect if the motherboard of the computer is connected

to the power supply so if you don't solder those wires together the power supply will

not turn on.

Then wire any yellow wire (+12v) to the voltage in connector on the RAMPS board

and any ground wire to the negative input connector. An alternative to this is

ordering a laptop power supply from the internet. the laptop power supply MUST be

able to provide at least 5AMPs at 12 volts.

Step 15: Program Arduino

Download the Marlin firmware here: https://github.com/MarlinFirmware/Marlin

(http://cdn.instructables.com/F16/7CZM/I8CVXLRL/F167CZMI8CVXLRL.LARGE.jpg)

Then put the Marlin folder into your libraries folder under arduino. Do this by going

into Documents --> Arduino--> Libraries and place the marlin folder into the

libraries folder and rename the marlin folder to "Marlin" or anything without spaces

or non-ASCII character.

Then open Marlin_for_edge.ino and compile it. If there is an error make sure you

have the right board selected (Mega 2560) and the correct serial port selected.

Step 16: Calibration

To calibrate your printer find this line in marlin's "Configuration.h" folder:

// default settings

#define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT {80, 80, 2618, 90}

(http://cdn.instructables.com/F1X/B1JB/I8CVXM1H/F1XB1JBI8CVXM1H.LARGE.jpg)

#define DEFAULT_MAX_FEEDRATE

#define DEFAULT_MAX_ACCELERATION

#define DEFAULT_ACCELERATION 3000

#define DEFAULT_RETRACT_ACCELERATION 3000

Once you find this part, open Printrun Pronterface or whatever your favourite 3D

printer controller is. Then having some calipers handy, press the move 10 units

button (It should have a 10 on it) and measure the actual distance that your printer

moved and write down that number for each axis.

Once you have the number of mm that your printer moved for each axis (for

example 8 instead of 10mm), go into the code and find the default axis steps per

mm. Use this formula to find out the new steps per mm :

S = (OS x SD) / RD

Where S= The correct step amount; the number that we are trying to find.

OS = The old steps per mm in our case this is 80.

SD = The number of mm's that the printer thinks that it moved in our case, 10mm.

RD = The actual distance that you wrote down for each axis

So if our 3d printer moves 8mm/10mm and our old steps per mm is 80 it will =

(80 x 10) / 8 = 100

So our new steps per mm = 100. If that is the number for the x axis replace the first

number in the steps per unit line of code (we replace the first number because in

the array the pattern is X,Y,Z,E).

Do this for all axes and yor 3d printer is calibrated.

Step 17: Slicing and How to Use

(http://cdn.instructables.com/F0O/AABB/I8CVXM7U/F0OAABBI8CVXM7U.LARGE.jpg)

Here are the slicing settings that I currently use: (Use images)

These also work if you use them in Slic3r or any other slicer, I just prefer Cura

because it is fast and accurate.

To actually print something from the printer download an STL file from a site like

youmagine or thingiverse. Once you have downloaded an STL file you can drag the

file into your slicer or choice and click "Export Gcode" and save it to your desktop.

To control the printer I like Printrun pronterface (

http://koti.kapsi.fi/~kliment/printrun/ ). Once it is downloaded you can select "open"

and select your G-code that you wnat to print. Connect your printer using a usb

cable and press the "connect" button in pronterface. You are now connected to

your printer and now you can press print. It will take a few minutes to heat up.

When it is completely heated up it will start homing all axes.

I loved your first instrtuctable. This one is even better! I'm 14 now, and I've built a

3d printer, but I could never INVENT one. Really good job!

Foxtrot70 (/member/Foxtrot70/)

An exceptional Instructable! An optional accessory you might look at would be tomake the printer head detachable so as to interchange with an optional LASER

cutter head and/or CNC milling head. Keep up the great work you are doing. PSplease add me to your perspective kits purchasers list.

I would love to also see your configuration file (configuration.h). One thing that

might be useful is to bundle the software package with instructions on how toflash the RAMPS board and make that part of the downloadable things for this (oryou can park it on Thingiverse too).

Nice. Detail in the directions is pretty good! For somebody looking to learn and

understand what a project like this entails, great resource. The only constructivecriticism I would offer (take it or leave it) is A. Maybe show an example ofsomething you printed with it. Folks looking to build their own vs buy need to

evaluate if it will meet their needs or expectations. B. Maybe offer ideas for howto make or get the parts that need to be 3D printer... A lot of filks BUILDING aprinter din't yet have access to one. But overall great job!

You're a pretty cool 13-year old! I've been reading many instructions and yours byfar is the easiest to read and very organized. Good idea on including all of yourlinks. You should be a college professor one day.

Ordering the 3D printed parts online can cost quite a

bit of money. If enough people want, I can sell the 3Dprinted parts for cheap.

I might be interested in that. could you do a quickcount and give a rough estimate of the total cost of theparts and the 3d printed parts from you counting

shipping? I know that's a lot. just an educated guess.$100, $150, $300?

appleman123987 (/member/appleman123987/) (author) JavaProgrammer

The parts from Aliexpress cost $134.88 US (includingshipping) so that's everything except the laser cutparts and the 3D printed parts. I could probably do

$25 for all 3D printed parts. Not sure about theshipping. That's just a quick guess.
