Need some info on this, Anyone who has experience with it ?

I am planning to get one , but need to know the basic before i get in .

Anyone ?

Planning to get a 3d printer??

yup, if things go right ...

so ? you know this stuff ?

http://www.3ding.in/

the FabX model is what I have my eyes on .

I'm searching in Internet to know if one can be built from scratch 

wow 3d printer for 20k, i was planning to buy one.

even i was planning for a DIY unit but as days go by there seems not much difference in price.

Google white ant 3d printer

yea thats why i needed to know more about it , what type of stuff is used, recurring costs , where can i get the designs from etc ..

My Friend has one. We started Building Quadcopter Frames.

some more pics.

 350 size folding frame.

wow ! , how does it cost ??

making the frames ??

also what was the cost of the printer ?

weight and strength ?

he spent around 40K for the machine.

Frame costs around Rs.300 to 500 depends upon the size.  

Parichya sir if your buying a 3d printer go for the prusa i3 get the electronics and mechanical kit from ebay,banggood or aliexpress and you can laser cut the prusa i3 frame from 6mm MDF wood.....if you search well you could get your 3D printer ready in 12K!.....Even i am planing to do the same after my exams are over ....and you could get ABS filament from HK at 9$!

wow ! ..

You could reduce more 2k if you make the control board on your own(DIY stuff)

Arun.sreelakam in our forum has already made a low cost DIY-3D printer .

@Parichya, you can contact Mr. Arun for more details on this , (This is the same guy from whom you are buying that LED kit !!)

3D printers to print frame 360 size and arm in just 10-20hour 

Today printed a 250mm quad frame
With 5mm thich center plate and 9mm thich arms with 60mm high landing skid..
Whole peint took aeound 6 hours in total..
And around 65mtrs of pla
Total weight around 50gms..
Moderately strong.. will post the pics and flying video soon..
As it is a diy printer the finishing is not that perfect.. and took a lot of time coz i just printed in a speed of 35mm/sec
Where we can actually go up to 150mm/sec.
I

Sir ABS would have been stronger i guess than PLA ...anyway waiting for your pics on the print!

Satya sir, it would take 5-6hrs for 350mm size Quad. weight will be around 70-100grams.

What would be the thickness of that frame?

Center plate 3mm and arm 6 to 10mm 

Good stuff thanks for the info.

Welcome Satya sir 

I have experience with the REPRAP prusa mendel i2, you could get a Prusa i3?

Some more

Arun what about

http://creatorbot.com/machines-and-accessories/3d-printers/creatorbot-mini

?

The specs looks good..
150x150x150mm build area is okay but not suffice.. i dont think its with a heat bed.. no more specs given

Hello Arun and gautham,

Yes the build volume is small but adequate and its meant for starters in 3d printing.


its only PLA as of now so no heated bed but it comes with a Aluminum Bed so can be upgraded later.

its expandable, if you know how to work on it, you can make a 1m x 1m x 1m printer too  .

we have these rails http://creatorbot.com/frame-rails/t-slot-profiles and can get some ideas here openbuilds.com

I really want to see how these rails we have can be used in RC Hobby to make some cool awesome stuff.

Ofcourse you can built any size printer.. but what i am taking was under budget..

Hey, I've been working with a company that makes 3D printers. The guys are from made a lot of noise good their quality of print. Check them out:
Fractal Works

Have been making DIY CNCs and 3d-printers since 2013. Currently into making 3d-printers & mini-CNCs for hobbyists. Feel free to ask for any help regarding that. Will post a few pics in some time.

Hi,
Certainly not advisable to make frames with PLA. It is brittle and prone to cracking. ABS is a better option for the same budget. However, Nylon and PETG are the best 3d printing materials for quadcopter parts. You can go through our list of materials on www.fabforma.com. We have a wide range of materials for various applications. If you want your custom parts designed & prototyped quickly, please feel free to call us / email us anytime. Happy to help.
