This IS SO AWESOME!! I'm becoming an Engineer and it is so cool to see there are a lot of people out there making videos of people messing around with all these weird things and making stuff out it! Keep up the good work!
Nicely done! It's not anything I would attempt to build but this gives real good illustration of the basic workings of a 3D printer. Thanks for sharing!
Amazing project. Update the prices, 3d pens are even cheaper now
Extruders and hotends are dirt cheap on AliExpress right now
cool
Stumbled upon this by accident while researching salvageble parts from regular printers. Have my sub kind sir. Very entertaining and informative vid man!
im blown away. i thought a 3d printer was out of my range but this has made it possible. cool. many thanks. im a subscriber now...
you did it again, this is what i need to get started on learning CNC og 3D printing. i am just waiting for my last parts to arrive.
Tinkernut, you are my hero. This project was great!
great job bro -- it is hard work to make these videos and your wisdom shines
Very well explained and executed excellent tutorial thanks for sharing
I REALLY ADMIRE AND RESPECT YOU. YOU DESERVE THE BEST. YOU'RE SHARING YOUR WISDOM. WE ARE HONORED. THANK YOU!
Just watched the first video of yours I've seen and Dude your awesome! TY :)
awesome thank-you for making this.
thank you so much this is the best idea I've ever seen!!!!
that was awesome! thanks for sharing!!
I think it's cool how you got two very separate products to work together. A true "Tinker"nut :)
this is so freaking awesome THANKS FOR Making vids like this
This is really cool. Very tempted to try and build this. You make it look easier than it probably is. I really want an affordable 3d printer.
same!this is super cool
Thank you for the awesome video!!
Much better than the way I was going to do it. My plan was to pretty much tape the pen to the CNC machine and turn it on manually when being used.
What a great Video!!!!!! Excellent idea!
dude what a idea! you are amazing
very inspiring. congratulations.
that was incredible great job
Definitely doing this
Wow dude, thats awesome! I think you should out this project on instructables for easy to follow instructions. But still, so cool! It really shows what a guy can make at home!
Haven't seen all your videos yet, but if you haven't tried it yet, how about a Cheap 3D Camera?
+GGsPlayTime correction. I mean 3D 360 degree camera
+GGsPlayTime I'm still looking into it. So far, it looks like Raspberry Pi's with webcams would be the easiest.
+Tinkernut that would be a great project to see. I feel the future is big for 360 degree Docos and Movies
+GGsPlayTime i wonder if you could use the panorama feature on a decent smart phone to create a 360 image and overlay that with another panorama from an another smartphone to make a 3d image?
fascinating concept, nonetheless.
+RetroPlayGamerTV I am building one off of two gopro ripoffs I bought off amazon. Then I 3d printed a mount and us a program called videostitch studio to make it virtual reality capable.
you should try do build a spy drone or quad copter for cheap because they are really expensive to get a good one
+lucas hawn YES ...next video should be arduino nano quadcopter or something like that :O
agree
+lucas hawn YES! a drone or something... with a camera and gimbal
+Gershon Dharmanandan you could add camera on drone yourself ...or did you want to make your own gimbal?
attecker yup... cos they are what cost the most in the more expensive drones...
It worked ! I like it. I have a CNC router, I can just clamp a 3D pen right next to the existing spindle.
Awesome job
This is really amazing! A 3D printer this chesp shouldn't exist! :P
One of the best content creators on TH-cam.
wow!! I am AMAZED!!
This was really cool.
@farvision you'd need three pens, and you'd have to program the axis that had the pens on it to move to the right / left to centre the pen as it witches colour, so you couldn't do it at the same time but you could do it, though you wouldn't have much room because the movement is limited to the length of the tracks the plates run on
This is so cool!
Very nice project
what a great channel!! Keep it up.
wow this is crazy thanx man
Excellent with one question,on a standard cnc a negative z axis command drives the z down into the workpiece and a positive z axis drives the z up from the workpiece.Have you got the z axis inverted in the GRBL settings or did you wire the Z in reverse. have the exact same setup as yours ,I have been wanting to do the 3d thing and now I will get it done,also what speed control setting did you use on the 3d pen.....WCH
Hey..Thank you so mush buddy..i was looking for some stuff like this :-)
will try it
Good job dude!
Epic as! Recently been thinking along the same lines so I did up an eBay shopping list of all the 3D Printer bits I could find for super cheap - hotends are actually available as low as 10 bucks (e3d clones) and you could use a bowden style design so there's less weight on the cdrom drives. Those 3D Pens are getting so cheap and nasty, I was at least expecting at tiny geared stepper in there!
I know its pretty far in the future, but the easythreed mini printer would work great for this. its tiny, direct drive, and you could use marlin firmware to properly control it
THATS SO COOL!
Easiest tutorial online thank man
Awesome!
Hey! I was wonder how I could hook up an extruder and hotend to the arduino? And how to control it all with Grbl? Any help would be much appreciated.
Well Done !!
AMAZING!
this is really nice
awesome buddy
amazing!
cool hack of the cnc you made!
that's absolutely amazing, i might have to build this because ive wanted a 3d printer for a while now but they are all just too expensive.
would i be able to make the plastic components for a higher end 3d printer using this? in other words, would i be able to use this to build up from a cheep 3d printer to a higher end one incrementally? of course i would have to buy the electronics, but those cost significantly less than a pre built printer.
Top notch stuff! I've recently got a bunch of old IDE CD and DVD drives for free so I might try to make this printer for myself! Thanks for the video! :D
Just a quick question tho: could one use an old PC instead of an Arduino? I have a really old Athlon XP PC collecting dust somewhere in my garage and it has an old parallel port, which AFAIK was used a lot for DIY projects back in the day due to its many in/out pins and being really easy to interface with programs, so it would be neat to give a new purpose to that old hunk o' junk!
I definitely have to build one this year. But I want to make stuff up to 300x80x80mm. for RC aircraft fuselages etc.
that was awesome!!!
I would love video showing some prints of this beast :D
So cool man
This is pretty clever.
This is soooo sick!
WOW can you please show us the capabilities of this thing (overhang, different shapes, useful prints and self printed upgrades?) +Tinkernut
simon sieber tinkernut yes please i am almost done with mine. All i have left is to install the 3d pen and I'm doing that now.. Y i am watching vid again. But seriously what is the coolest thing you can do with this.
where do you source your dvd drives?
Nice Project,,,
Is it possible to use a mini-servo as the Z-axis (Like for pushing the marker down) instead of using the stepper motor mechanism (Heh, pretty late since this question is meant for the last video you made...)? If so, how would you program it into the GRBL program? :/ Thanks
this is awesome....
Nice project sir, I'm interested to make it. But about the hotend I want to use a real one, such as E3D j-head Bowden hotend and MK8 extruder.
Nice!
thanks for awesome videos!! i have a question . Arduino has 3 GND pin and we have 3 stepper motor drivers so we use all of it for motor driver's GND and now we need one more GND pin in arduino for 3D Pen . How can i solve this problem ?
Hi i've been following ur tutorial to make a 3d printer using the cd rom drives but the three stepper motor doesnt rotate with my easydriver only the z axis moves fine . X axis never rotates at all and Y axis only moved once . I checked the connections and even tried to increase power but the problem didn't resolved. The software portion works just like yours . And i am a little lost..
Amazing
I have a question the 3d Pen when printing is it think making the layer or thin? Sorry a little lost I'm thinking of building my first cnc system Was thinking of using the 3d pen as well.
Cool!
I'm interested to see more things that can be printed with this.
I wonder if you could use a slicer to make more complex g-code, so you could make some low res parts with varying heights and such.
BRAVO!
Im gonna create a 3d printer myself! Could be handy for my study.
Just a question, is it possible to import a Solidworks file to the printer?
hello i have a request that can you make battery level interdicter with display 12*16 led display
have you printed anything else with this? I am in the process of building this from your videos. I have all the parts, I just need to put it all together. I can't wait to see what it can do.
Please make a video on making a mini mill for PSB's. That would be amazing: )
can this print objects I designed from sketchup?.. i exported it as an STL file and converted the STL file into Gcode..
on ebay u can buy an extruder for like $30
The hot glue gun would be another $15, and the filament would be about $20, so it would cost more for a lower quality product .
Get the hot glue gun from a garage sale or a thrift shop.
+ben nottelling- The extruder would be $30, the filament would be $20, so even without the hot glue gun,it would still cost more than just buying a pen.
+UPandUNDER Normally I would suggest that you avoid a cheap extruder at all costs, they are almost *always* garbage. But considering this printer is literally just scrap, it would probably work well enough. That being said, you would be limited to using a bowden setup with a regular extruder as you wont find a hotend with an embedded motor that would wouldn't weigh too much to be driven
+Kain Arrowny hot glue gun = $3 and 20 for filament and 25 for extruder (yes, $25) while the pen option is low resolution _and_ $45. So, $3 extra for about 3x precision. Fair trade in my opinion. Also, you can MAKE an extruder quite easily actually. just a couple motors and some gears, I already made one out of extra parts from the dvd drives for the CNC machine.
what are the forces that the cnc you built machine withstand?
Can you also use 3d-printer files? Or can you just 3d print 2d stuff? Like logo's or something similar like that? Or can you also make (small)statues?
this is so badass
Awesome
Hi there.I am making my own design for larger prints. I want to know how will it know that it is going with correct dimensions. for example i have used a lot of gears and i programmed it to make an inch line, how will it callibrate with my gear settings?
can you control the width or should i say Boldness (making it thin or fat) of the filament? +Tinkernut
So when are you making a 4D printer?
+Kinkzoz What, like adding a W axis that works only on irrational numbers...?
Krisztián Szirtes
IDK it would print in 4d thats what it would do
+Kinkzoz ...so you want it to print time?
attecker
guys this was a joke stop taking it seriously
+Kinkzoz whats the source for your image?
Editing G code will be applicable as same like this for any objects. ?
can this do more complex projects such as helical gears?
I was thinking of a 3d pen that is plug & play wih pads where it connects to the housing of thr axsis so while outside it works like a pen when plugged in it works like a hotend.
can we use the software named autodesk remake with this printer to print insted of putting those values ourselves?
Hi! What software did you use to create nice animation?
Hi tinkernut. I was fascinated by built-your-own 3d printer with different parts. What I see in your video is that you use Arduino as your board and 3d pen as the nozzle that has its own thermoplastic heater. Basically, from what I know, the Arduino itself serve its purpose as the "brain" and the motor as the "actuator". I have a project revolving around 3d printer and I want to make 2 nozzles instead of 1. Could I make an electrical branch on the Arduino and still have the same output? I want to make them move synchronously. Thanks.
hey bro its realy a cool idea which i was thinking to do this project from last three mnths but got stuck with the 3d pen circuit .. will u help me out to figure the exact circuit board of the 3d printing pen. its urgent i guess i got the same pen as yours
Can you also make a solid object using this method? Or do you need to use another software for that?
what type of filament are useful??? i dont know much about them..
Would be cool if you could make this project with a pantograph to operate the xy axis. Similar to a pantarouter.
have you tried runing any parts that were designed using a 3d modeling app and then slicing ,then altering gcode,Iam building a small 3d printer using grbl the way you did only I have to use a slicer as my parts are .stl models,I am testing slic3r.
What is the "minimum thickness" wire that it could print out?
