Here comes my DIY 3D printer

[Zeeflyboy]

I'm interested - I love 3D printers :)

400x400x400mm is a pretty awesome build area and is the kind of size I would go for if (when?) I build myself a new printer one day.

What are you using for print bed? I've been having a great experience lately with printbite+ on a tooling plate.

Just FYI, you can get silicon heater mats made up to order so whatever size/voltage/wattage you want. The ones I ordered for my new build plates have a thermistor built in and came with tape applied ready to fit so very convenient.

It’s great that you are posting and sharing but I’m trying not to be interested in 3D printers because I know how it ends

I understand what you mean. I was also not interested for years... but one day I woke up and realised that I don't want to die without trying... and now I am stuck. It's fun and even if some things are better made using my CNC, I prefer printing if possible, at least for now.

It is not the maximum print volume which is 400x400x400 but the printer. The volume is pretty much standard 200x200x150 , so it's not that large, but enogh for me. The heat bed at the moment is 2 PCB sandwiched and connected serially to get 24V control. Will see how it works out.
