Cartesian printersĬartesian printers are straightforward X Y and Z-axis all working independently. Building a 3D printer from scratchĬonsider the two most common FFF / FDM design types to choose from:ĭelta printers work with 3 different Z-axis driven motors in a triangle formation moving up and down to adjust the center position in the X,Y, and Z-axis all at the same time together. I’ll go a bit into different types of 3D printers and discuss the choices I made during the process.
So you want to build an FFF / FDM 3D printer from scratch? Well here is a good place to start.
