DIY 3D Printer
Open source. Trouble shooting. Tolerance. Mechtronics.
I have always been obsessed with building moving tools with mechanical complexity, inspired by the way biological systems are designed. That curiosity led me to study mechatronics so I could learn how to design the hardware of complex machines and robots. I spent a tremendous amount of time troubleshooting problems such as belt tension and axis calibration, and in the end, the printer finally worked.
Process of building took about 5 month.
