Okay, I thought instead of making the build episodes of my DIY unipolar 3D printer series my usual 20+ minute creations, I'd do some explaining of the theoretical stuff in a seperate video upfront so maybe the main build videos won't end up that long and take almost a month to get done. This should also allow me to publish more than twice a month as these "low effort" videos only take about two days from start to finish. In this first part we discuss some important things I needed to consider when designing my own 3D printer out of plywood and MDF, like for example how to mount the aluminum angle bar to the wooden X and Y axes - I said I would go in depth on building this printer, and that's exactly what we're doing! Of course I didn't manage to finish half of what I wanted to cover in those puny 10 minutes so we'll need a follow up to cover the rest before we start building the gantry.
Here's some affiliate links* to parts I got for this printer:
