Excellent work! I think a CoreXY would be very beneficial for such a large bed. Then you don't need to worry so much about the inertia of the extremely heavy bed. That would be a very large cage needed though, and the support on the bed would need to be fairly strong.
Yeah corexy would be the way to go, leave the bed and heavy parts completely stationary and make the xy gantry move up in Z as it prints. Much less moving mass, faster more stable prints.
Core-XY would be...heh...impractical for this class of printer (i.e. MASSIVE print volume) because of the extensive belt lengths you need to tension, etc. It's rough enough doing a classic bed-flinger here with this stuff. At some point he's going to hit limits on the belts that're going to call for lead-screws or rack/pinion drive solutions. At that point, he would be probably better suited with a MASSIVE Delta kinematic or a Workhorse-XL type kinematic, which is cartesian, but makes the printbed static relative to the X/Y axis and raises and lowers the X/Y gantry relative to the Z.
@@frankearl9285 yeah didnt think of the big belts stretching. rack and pinion would be really cool to see. our big printers at work (15 x 60ft 8ft H) are dual gantry with linear rails and ball screws, one gantry is the print head with 1/2 in or 3/4 in nozzles and the second head is a 5 axis milling head for finishing. very cool machines. i belive the new one being installed now is close to 100ft long bed.
@@frankearl9285 You just up the width of the timing belts. I've seen a few 500x500mm core xy printers and they are using like 4 or 5 inch wide belts to compensate
I have really enjoyed watching the evolution of your large scale 3D printers over the last few years. This one has very high-end fixings; a step up from the roofing bolts that you have used in the other printers! Looks really good, I expect your next printer build will be big enough to build a car, boat or house 🙂
It makes me a little crazy that Ivan spends all this time on these awesome, huge printers, but makes them bed-slingers. I think cartesian would be a better choice than CoreXY in this case -- the belts in a CoreXY printer this size would be a few meters long, making belt stretch an issue.
@@mattasmack i think most of the people when talking about coreXY don't strictly refer to true coreXY. They most likely just mean X and Y moving on the hotend, while Z is on the bed.
@@ivanmirandawastaken I'd have the bed be completely stationary and have the print head move in all three axis. That bed is so heavy that I'd be concerned about backlash and component wear, and you could make a larger square bed with the same footprint. If you make a box frame a bit like the Ender 5, but tweak the roller design I feel like you'd get a larger (which is always good) and more stable printer, that could print faster
Ivan, your videos are awesome! This one in particular piqued my interest and I decided to go ahead and try building it! It's been a few months now, and quite the journey. The printer is up and running, on Klipper might I add, and it's printing really well! Thank you for designing this project (and all your other ones) and sharing it with the world, I couldn't have built it without you!!
Just discovered your channel with this video. Your general good mood and interesting projects make your channel wholesome and interesting, I absolutely love it!
Stupid question, instead of Y moving, wouldn’t it be easier to use a design a model where only Z moves? Printing head alone will have same inertia as regular size printers, you could print faster and not worry about getting knocked in the nuts by your printer. Again, I’m no expert. Just a stupid question. Maybe it was raised before.
I don't know if I understand your question correctly. For a 3D printer you will always need three axes. But yes - many big printers are cartesian, coreXY or delta types where the print head moves.
@@charlesw.3245 What he means is the bed is stationary while the printhead assembly moves in X, Y and Z. And for a large printer like this I think it would be interesting to do it that way. Moving all of the bed means the total footprint needed increases a lot and the total mass of the bed and what is printed i much higher than the mass of the printhead assembly which should mean that it could move faster using much less power. Now the problem is to make something that can move in all three directions at the same time and yet stay stable with no wobble, backlash or vibrations which all would compromise the print quality. I'm sure all those problems can be overcome, just not easily and it would probably require some pretty specialized slides and very high precision components that are pretty expensive and might not even be available as standard components. This printer was built using standard components and 3D printed parts making it a pretty cost effective design. So if you've got the space it needs, a very stable surface to place it on and don't need really high print speed I think it's a good compromise having the bed move.
I think with this conventional design would be much more simple to build, cheap, and light, and maybe he want to make the project finish faster so he choose the conventional. Also Ivan proves that the print quality with this configuration is quite decent with the cost of print time.
@@blahorgaslisk7763 3D printing nerd has shown a machine a few times that works similar to as you described, the bed stays still and the head moves in all axes. It like the 3d workstation 300 series or somethubg like that. But it has a 1 meter * 1 meter * .5 meter build volume and gets very wobbly near the top of its reach.
Finally started using socket head bolts and washers instead of large Philips head bolts! AMAZING build Ivan. You did a great job filming it all. Beautiful process. Thank you for providing the internet with amazing content! After reading the comments, many seem to wonder why you chose a cartesian style printer instead of a Core XY. One main argument is that a core XY takes much more frame and bracing material to ensure sufficient rigidity. Also, the core XY keeps the moving print head at the top of the printer(however tall it is .5m?), this would mean that the large extruder and hot-end mounted so high up would be rocking the printer around. Anyways, I always enjoy your content, and hey, as long as it works well!
Yes, I caved and bought a lot of new screws. And yes, there's people complaining about the speed of this design, but they are thinking small. A small cube will take longer in this printer, but anything large will be really fast. This is not for miniatures, that spanner took 11 hours, around the same it would have taken to print it full diagonal in a CR-10. Thanks!!!

I was thinking that printing all those parts would be a bad idea, but I was wrong. That bed is crazy warped/ non-flat but the BL Touch did its job. Incredible.
Ths is exactly why I can't like all his new printers. I subscribed when he was still working on his CoreXY-style machine. That one made sense, and could easily build bigger. I guess these i3 style super large printers work too, but it frustrates me too see so much wasted potential.
A coreXY that size would be a nightmare. Belt lengths would be a huge issue as well as sheer size (a 350^3 barely fits through a standard door frame). Bed slingers scale up much easier with much cheaper parts. Your only loss is speed but using larger filament and nozzle sizes helps to mitigate that.
@@nocjef It all depends on how well you build your printer. Building such a huge i3 setup and getting the bed to acceptable speeds is as compilated as building a machine with the extruder on the X&Y axis. Even if you couldn't get the belts to work properly, a stationary bed with the X-axis gantry moving on z and Y, like the ginormous printer that Joel form the 3D printing nerd has, would still be easier to build than this contraption.
@@nocjef Bed slingers might as well use a Y-portal at that point, for half the size of the machine with the same useable volume. Like, yes, what Joel the 3D printing nerd has. As a bonus, that system is a lot more rigid and doesn't rely on the sheer mass of the bed to stay on the guides.
That’s really cool. I want to build an extreme build volume printer sometime, but I’ll probably try to go with a core xy motion because that’s a huge amount of mass to sling that bed back and forth. I’d have to do the math and see whether gantry deflection would be a bigger problem to solve, but the concept is super impressive. I love everything about it.
he's a fun guy with lots of money and sponsors but really, a bedflinger is not a good design for this size. there's a lot he doesn't know about 3d printing (like that brim he used, jesus christ!)
@@moyu1616 It's a Carthesian variant, so it should be fine. The problem with an i3 of this size stems from just the sheer mass of the bed, though, and Ender still uses Z-axis for the bed. For Y-bed like we see here, it necessitates massive amounts of power, has more inertia than quite possibly every other moving part combined, and effectively doubles the machine's footprint. Putting it on Z like on Ender 5 would require expensive leadscrews or even ball screws, but save costs on frame material, motors, and their controllers, and result in a more rigid (and thus accurate) machine overall. Using XYZ-head Carthesian could introduce unwanted vibrations, especially across the Z-axis, but would be a lot cheaper and easier than moving the bed at all, while still being more rigid and accurate than the i3-style Carthesian seen here.
I honestly first found this video when i first decided i wanted to build my own 3D printer of well a big size, and I am glad to have come across your channel not just for inspiration but also for some very interesting videos to watch.
cool video and amazing printer! I was wondering, is there a reason you chose those motor-couplers for the z-axis? Because, as far as i know, those are not supposed to handle axial or radial forces, but only translate the rotation. Would a stiff coupler make more sense for this application?
His builds are awesome, but I don't care for the fact he never responds to people trying to dig into his thought process on choices, such as your comment. Only comments he seems to respond to are the ones sucking his dick, so to speak. These are usually good questions worth brief explanation on why he chose what he did when there seems to be better options available.
Eres un ejemplo para mí Iván! Soy ingeniero mecánico de profesión,. llevo 8 años en áreas comerciales y siempre tuve la inclinación por construir algo con mis propias manos. He pasado por proyectos sencillos de carpintería, arreglar coches pero fue con la impresión 3D que dije "esto es lo mío". Antes de conocerte invertí en una máquina DIY china pero al poco tiempo me quedé con "esto es muy poco para mí". Buscando encontré tu canal y de inmediato me enganché: he visto creo que 8 videos tuyos uno tras otro y estoy convencido de que quiero ensamblar mi propia impresora 3D! Consulta: en tu web están los planos del MarkIV sin embargo son escalables en caso tenga una cama de dimensiones más pequeñas? pues no tengo donde entre una impresora con tales dimensiones como las del video y quiero comenzar con algo intermedio. MUCHAS GRACIAS POR TU TIEMPO, TU DEDICACIÓN! TE GANASTE UN FAN!!!!
There is one thing that concerns me about this, the massive bed, with all of that inertial mass from a bed that large I feel like it is very hard to stop, something like coreXY is much better for such large format printers
I think it's very worth noting just HOW MANY TIMES poor Ivan had to assemble this thing. Just to figure out which parts were needed (500) plus all the myriad camera angles (1300), plus all the retakes and outtakes (850), plus the redesigns and repairs when something went catastrophically-wrong (3)... I swear, this guy's built more printers than AnyCubic. I mean, they MANUFACTURE more, but I GUARANTEE you this man, PERSONALLY has any member of their staff beat x10.
Damn that's amazingly huge!!! Love it! Question though, do you experience a lot of issues since it's so big and I'd imagine it has a lot of movement? How fast can you print without print quality suffering?
That print took roughly 11 hours and the detailing seemed decent for practical purposes to give a rough estimate ,unless you're licking your chops that much to which find out yourself you mad lad. Print volume was 1.1kg (2.42Ibs) total weight over 11 hours. That's a print weight of .1kg(.22Ibs) per hour. Honestly seems pretty fast for simple larger designs. If you have a 3d printer, compare yours against that print speed should give you an idea, percent wise, if circle jerk math is what you're after for base lines of what YOU work with.
Fantastic. If you're going bigger, you're going to have to switch to a gantry rather than moving bed, I think. If only to save the floor space. Next: 4th axis! Add the ability to rotate the printing surface in some way. They do it with metal cad/cam. It'd be interesting to see what you could do with that ability in additive printing.
I can see where this i going,, printing a "bency" everyone does that... but printing a "Binky" before Rich & Nick finish theirs... youll have to get some White PLA tho :)
Ivan, You are an INSANELY talented maker... WaoWW 🤯 Below questions for your FAQ: * What was the entire build in price? * What was the print time for printed accessories? * What was the complete assembly time used ? * How many g/minute fillament can it print ? * Do you have a BOM somewhere ?
Seeing that giant wrench gave me an idea...Print an electric guitar! Leave space in the neck for a tension bar, spaces for pickups & knobs, etc... but you could make on in about 12-15 hours!

You are absolutely inspiring. I have been dreading to begin building a voron 2.4. After seeing this I have decided to build my own printer after all. Problem is, I need a 3d printer to start building my diy one. Keep up the great work my friend. You are amazing and inspiring!
I would recommend just buying a decent one like an ender 3 at the start, i got a very complicated printer as my first one and its a pita to calibrate correctly. I can imagine a diy printer would be even worse for a beginner
“The CR-10 is to big for its i3 Frame design”
Ivan Miranda: Hold my Spacers!
The only foreseeable problem with large i3 printers is that companies don't wanna have to put more motors to balance out the weight
We now need "hold my spacers" merch..
I am curious to see if there will be a comment on increased wearout of the components after a few months, especially the rollers.

I'm betting there are many marriages that will be started and be over before its finished - unless there's a tea shortage.
I was thinking that printing all those parts would be a bad idea, but I was wrong. That bed is crazy warped/ non-flat but the BL Touch did its job. Incredible.
Love your enthusiasm.
A printer of this size shouldn’t be a bedslinger though.
I guess it’s not stupid if it works 😉
Ths is exactly why I can't like all his new printers. I subscribed when he was still working on his CoreXY-style machine. That one made sense, and could easily build bigger. I guess these i3 style super large printers work too, but it frustrates me too see so much wasted potential.
A coreXY that size would be a nightmare. Belt lengths would be a huge issue as well as sheer size (a 350^3 barely fits through a standard door frame). Bed slingers scale up much easier with much cheaper parts. Your only loss is speed but using larger filament and nozzle sizes helps to mitigate that.
@@nocjef It all depends on how well you build your printer. Building such a huge i3 setup and getting the bed to acceptable speeds is as compilated as building a machine with the extruder on the X&Y axis. Even if you couldn't get the belts to work properly, a stationary bed with the X-axis gantry moving on z and Y, like the ginormous printer that Joel form the 3D printing nerd has, would still be easier to build than this contraption.
@@nocjef Bed slingers might as well use a Y-portal at that point, for half the size of the machine with the same useable volume. Like, yes, what Joel the 3D printing nerd has. As a bonus, that system is a lot more rigid and doesn't rely on the sheer mass of the bed to stay on the guides.
brilliant! well done mate! 🙏🏻
Soon, Ivan will build a 3D printer bigger than his workshop, and use it to print a spaceship or something.
Or something...
He'll use it to print a bigger workshop!
He could make the frame at the edges of the workshop so that the entire workshop is the printer.
@@ivanmirandawastaken yeah build a spaceship using drone technology
@@ivanmirandawastaken .... a workshop printer ... all in red, and with floats
Monsieur, vous m'avez émerveillé. Chapeau bas !
BL-Touch auto-leveling on the printer be like "One eternity later"
That’s really cool. I want to build an extreme build volume printer sometime, but I’ll probably try to go with a core xy motion because that’s a huge amount of mass to sling that bed back and forth. I’d have to do the math and see whether gantry deflection would be a bigger problem to solve, but the concept is super impressive. I love everything about it.
Can we forward this to the 3D printing Nerd and his 38K printer? :)
This thing could print a whole lego set in one go!
NOOO ITS TOO BIG FOR A I3 DESING
Ivan Miranda: Haha big
3d printer go brrrrr
he's a fun guy with lots of money and sponsors but really, a bedflinger is not a good design for this size. there's a lot he doesn't know about 3d printing (like that brim he used, jesus christ!)
@@83hjf yeah i strongly agree with you he should went for a core xy desing right from the start.
@@moyu1616 CoreXY would have an issue with belt length, that's the point where you use knematics configurations from professional machines.
@@EgorKaskader what about the knematics of an ender 5? Will It work?
@@moyu1616 It's a Carthesian variant, so it should be fine. The problem with an i3 of this size stems from just the sheer mass of the bed, though, and Ender still uses Z-axis for the bed. For Y-bed like we see here, it necessitates massive amounts of power, has more inertia than quite possibly every other moving part combined, and effectively doubles the machine's footprint. Putting it on Z like on Ender 5 would require expensive leadscrews or even ball screws, but save costs on frame material, motors, and their controllers, and result in a more rigid (and thus accurate) machine overall. Using XYZ-head Carthesian could introduce unwanted vibrations, especially across the Z-axis, but would be a lot cheaper and easier than moving the bed at all, while still being more rigid and accurate than the i3-style Carthesian seen here.
I honestly first found this video when i first decided i wanted to build my own 3D printer of well a big size, and I am glad to have come across your channel not just for inspiration but also for some very interesting videos to watch.
Oof all that aluminum extrusion just makes me think of dollar signs.
It is around $6 a meter, it is not that bad. Makergal.es
@@ivanmirandawastaken Where do you buy the extrusion? I am also from Spain and wondering if it can be bought locally.
@@ivanmirandawastaken id like to know as well
@@ivanmirandawastaken we are all wondering where you source your extrusion from.
this is the most “because I can” 3D printer I’ve ever seen and I’m in love with it
Huh I was wondering where all the 2020 extrusion went. I was looking for some yesterday lol
Even though I don't plan on making one of these, this was completely worth the wait!
This is so cool! Am I tripping or is the filament spool also bigger than usual?
2,3 kg
One of the best things i have seen on TH-cam... What a legend Ivan Miranda is!!
cool video and amazing printer!
I was wondering, is there a reason you chose those motor-couplers for the z-axis? Because, as far as i know, those are not supposed to handle axial or radial forces, but only translate the rotation. Would a stiff coupler make more sense for this application?
His builds are awesome, but I don't care for the fact he never responds to people trying to dig into his thought process on choices, such as your comment. Only comments he seems to respond to are the ones sucking his dick, so to speak. These are usually good questions worth brief explanation on why he chose what he did when there seems to be better options available.
Dude, this is beyond awesome, u're very perfecionist, cheers from Argentina!
Eres un ejemplo para mí Iván! Soy ingeniero mecánico de profesión,. llevo 8 años en áreas comerciales y siempre tuve la inclinación por construir algo con mis propias manos. He pasado por proyectos sencillos de carpintería, arreglar coches pero fue con la impresión 3D que dije "esto es lo mío". Antes de conocerte invertí en una máquina DIY china pero al poco tiempo me quedé con "esto es muy poco para mí". Buscando encontré tu canal y de inmediato me enganché: he visto creo que 8 videos tuyos uno tras otro y estoy convencido de que quiero ensamblar mi propia impresora 3D!
Consulta: en tu web están los planos del MarkIV sin embargo son escalables en caso tenga una cama de dimensiones más pequeñas? pues no tengo donde entre una impresora con tales dimensiones como las del video y quiero comenzar con algo intermedio.
MUCHAS GRACIAS POR TU TIEMPO, TU DEDICACIÓN! TE GANASTE UN FAN!!!!
This video is sooo satisfying to watch, keep up the good work!
International shortage of red filament, Hmmmm Ivan Miranda must have built another stupidly large printer. 😆
Love your solution for locking the belt ends in the carriage!
There is one thing that concerns me about this, the massive bed, with all of that inertial mass from a bed that large I feel like it is very hard to stop, something like coreXY is much better for such large format printers
That build and that wirering, it is so beautiful and it is true art, great work :)
i dare u to make a printer large enough to print a 420 wrench in one piece
I think it's very worth noting just HOW MANY TIMES poor Ivan had to assemble this thing. Just to figure out which parts were needed (500) plus all the myriad camera angles (1300), plus all the retakes and outtakes (850), plus the redesigns and repairs when something went catastrophically-wrong (3)... I swear, this guy's built more printers than AnyCubic. I mean, they MANUFACTURE more, but I GUARANTEE you this man, PERSONALLY has any member of their staff beat x10.
Damn that's amazingly huge!!! Love it! Question though, do you experience a lot of issues since it's so big and I'd imagine it has a lot of movement? How fast can you print without print quality suffering?
That print took roughly 11 hours and the detailing seemed decent for practical purposes to give a rough estimate ,unless you're licking your chops that much to which find out yourself you mad lad. Print volume was 1.1kg (2.42Ibs) total weight over 11 hours. That's a print weight of .1kg(.22Ibs) per hour. Honestly seems pretty fast for simple larger designs. If you have a 3d printer, compare yours against that print speed should give you an idea, percent wise, if circle jerk math is what you're after for base lines of what YOU work with.
Fantastic. If you're going bigger, you're going to have to switch to a gantry rather than moving bed, I think. If only to save the floor space.
Next: 4th axis! Add the ability to rotate the printing surface in some way. They do it with metal cad/cam. It'd be interesting to see what you could do with that ability in additive printing.
How much does this project cost to build without printed parts
I don't know, I haven't tried
@@ivanmirandawastaken I think he means how much you spent on parts you couldn't print, like profiles, steppers, board, pulleys, etc.
Wow! You're magician! It's impressive how stunning and neat the project is! And it works!!! Great job man! Thanks!
I can see where this i going,, printing a "bency" everyone does that... but printing a "Binky" before Rich & Nick finish theirs... youll have to get some White PLA tho :)
Well seeing how they have most things going together now they just might be able to wrap Binky around a tree this year...
The Apex of the i3 design uptill now! Congratulations! You truly are a class apart!
What happened to the vacuum cannon video?
Let's say it was probably incompatible with our societal norms
@@ivanmirandawastaken You mean... Mother TH-cam is telling us again what we should and shloudn't watch?
Ivan, You are an INSANELY talented maker... WaoWW 🤯 Below questions for your FAQ:
* What was the entire build in price?
* What was the print time for printed accessories?
* What was the complete assembly time used ?
* How many g/minute fillament can it print ?
* Do you have a BOM somewhere ?
Dude, that´s an addiction. you need help. or maybe some space(rs) from these things..
SPACERS!
you're a mad man and this was a beautifully executed project.
Yeah, im second.
Wow! I love the design work! You must be very proud of what you've created
The collab I never expected to ever happen :D
I imagine dialing in the acceleration and jerk settings will be fun for something that can quickly accumulate so much mass on the bed!
Seeing that giant wrench gave me an idea...Print an electric guitar! Leave space in the neck for a tension bar, spaces for pickups & knobs, etc... but you could make on in about 12-15 hours!
cool man, i love how these machine parts are modular and build able like a lego set
Inconfundible acentazo español nada más abrir el vídeo xD
Como me alegra ver a makers españoles. Mucho más viendo lo crack que eres y lo bien que te va en la plataforma.
Proyectazo! Sub!
Incredible, beautiful too. Design & build are truly great. I would love to see this available in my country.
WOW, just WOW, I like how your brain works. Very excellent! Love your channel.
You are absolutely inspiring. I have been dreading to begin building a voron 2.4. After seeing this I have decided to build my own printer after all. Problem is, I need a 3d printer to start building my diy one. Keep up the great work my friend. You are amazing and inspiring!
I would recommend just buying a decent one like an ender 3 at the start, i got a very complicated printer as my first one and its a pita to calibrate correctly. I can imagine a diy printer would be even worse for a beginner
