Building a 3D Print Farm [University Edition] 

In some parts of this video, I'm getting uncomfortably close to my friends. Most parts were filmed during summer where Covid cases were really low. It makes me cringe in hindsight but all safety regulations were met. Stay safe and thanks for watching!

Both at the same time is the way!

Hey, can you make a separate video about the design stuff. I would be very interested. Greetings from Holland

Wow! You are back! Nice to hear you!

THIS IS AWESOME!!!! THANKS FOR THE INSPIRATION MAN!! CHEERS!!

Ich gratuliere! Tolle Maschinen hast du gebaut! Viele Grüße aus Buenos Aires...

Awesome iterations and modifications, please post the progress of the Delta build as well. Continued success !

Constantijn, forgive as I was somewhat multi-tasking while viewing. You designed these printers? I believe, from this perspective, you did a fabulous job! That's coming from a guy who's only built one so far and it was a kit. I'm looking to build a core xy next. Have you thought of adding a core x y to the uni farm? Thanks for the great video, glad I joined the channel!

As an HP sales rep told me, it is not the reliability or repairability, it is the repeatability, if you print 1000 parts, 999 are the same specs and tolerance, not 700 and the rest are failed prints, stringing, ringing, blobs, under or overextrusion. And that's why they charge 50-200k€ per printer

Super starkes Video! Verständlich erklärt und auf den Punkt gebracht. Zusätzlich schön gefilmt und bearbeitet! Mega nice

Are you going to share details on your bigger fish? :)

Great video

For reduce vibration, attach a heavy stone under the printer it is maybe help, in particular when two printer working on the same desk

I would love to see a video about calibrating the chopper parameters. I have the exact same vibration problems.

Have you ever thought of making a 3d printer that's basically 4 corner pieces you can set apart as far as you like, set the height as high as you like, than simply run bars across the frame, clamp them in place. Printer "discovers itself" works out the maximum printable area and sits ready to print. You could even add multiple print heads to get the job done faster, auto negotiation of where each print head is at any one time would allow faster print times, imagine multiple print heads whizzing around creating a massive print in a quarter the time because you have 4 print heads going at it. Than imagine an entire factory floor that contains a single 20 acre 3d printer frame with thousands of print heads fed plastic from plastic reels from above creating either hundreds of the same item, as in mass manufacturing, or alternatively several massive 3d renders (Think house or car size). The big advantage is that this factory would need no retooling, it could build anything of any size without swapping out robots or large pressing machines. Robots on the floor could then collect the 3d renders, transport to an adjacent factory and assemble them.

Please make a detailed video about how you dealt with the thermal expansion and need warp as you mentioned you will make it in another video... Awesome content!

So for some time now I had the Sapphire Plus printer on my head. I think it's price performance is really good. Although a vague idea of building one from scratch comes from time to time.

Nice work! You explained a bit too little about the machines but I could see you know your stuff. Looking forward too more information about the teased Delta! Looks epic.

Zu den Vibrationen: Die Drucker stehen nur auf den Profilen oder? Ein Feder-Dämpfersystem darunter wäre vielleicht hilfreich. Squashball-Füße sind da populär aber es gäbe sicher auch günstigere Lösungen. ;)

Bin gerade auf deinen Kanal gestoßen, mach weiter so!

Very nice lookin frames! switch them to corexy with static beds!! Y ringing and vibrations will be a thing of the past!!

As someone who's slowly replacing parts on what used to be an off-the-shelf printer, I'm curious for more specifics on the upgrades you felt were most important to improve both the print quality and the maintainability of these printers. I'm hoping to draw some parallels to my own reconstruction work. Can you share any more details about what sort of upgrades you focused on?

Nice print "garden".

Hey, any chance that you share the updated plans of the printers?

Hi konstantin. It's me again. Could you take measurements from the frame, at least roughly measure everything. Specify the type of aluminum profile. And also specify the length and type of rails. At least this. I want to repeat your experience. thank you very much in advance

I just found this video by searching DIY print farm. I must say I'm really happy to have found your channel and am looking forward to seeing more from you :) But I must say the video didn't have any details about your design decisions or changes you've made. Are you planning do videos that have more information in them down the road? Thanks for awesome content.

Any plan to publish design files?

Will there be a video about the BIG MOTHER MUGGER PRINTER ? 😊

Very tall Deltas coming soon? 👀 🤔😁😁😁

Where can I find your start g-code? Can you share it please!

"they all dipped once the actual work began" Man, i nearly had to redo a year because of this

Tolles Video und gute arbeit. Ich kann dir nur zustimmen, Mendel Drucker sind nicht optimal, aber dafür einfach zu verstehen 👍 Wenn ich das sehe bereue ich es echt etwas, dass ich ein Fernstudium mache und auch nicht im Bereich Maschinenbau. Naja manchmal ist es besser wenn ein Hobby ein Hobby bleibt.

Oh my I just noticed you have dual motor for Y axis?? Any sync issues?

Do you intend to release the design files/plans for the huf Bot? Thanks

nice

Awesome!! What nozzle size, print speed, layer height, etc. ??

Nice work and design!! But, i prefer welded steel frame for 3d printers:-))

why not use cheaper aluminium channels (square extrusion... u know the kind used in aluminium doors) as frame for the 3d printer- should reduce the cost further.. You are using linear rails for precision... the frame is just for rigidity... its not like the vslot wheels will be used on the extrusions

Moin! Super video:)

How did you get the graph when it levels?, as well as total print time, print jobs etc

What type of engineer are you because this is a multidisciplinary endeavor?

Also deine Upload-Schedule war auch mal regelmäßiger...

What in the world firmware are you running that has that neat chart?

What software are you using to control the printer?

Klipper input shaper

Warum hat er denn die Motorkabel nicht einfach ausgesteckt? :(

So a 10 minute video pretty much putting down the people that built them... nice.

Looks cool. However and like many videos, no evidence of efficacy.
