The Missing Bit

Unreasonable printer project

2021-11-27

I have been tinkering with 3d printing for a while, and I have decided to work on a new printer project, from scratch.

It is not reasonable, so I have named this project the "unreasonable printer project", because I am very original.

This post will be upated regularly, it will serve as build log.

I made an initial design, but I am hitting a little bit of an issue with high temperature.

It is very hard to have high temperature belts that perform as well as at low temperature.

I am considering chains, I do not know how well they perform for 3d printing.
