James's 3D Printer

Alright so I realized that this piece would be way to big to print on my 3D printer, so i divided it up into 3 pieces and added screw holes. Now, it should fit well within my 180 by 180 bed!

I part-lightened the gantry and I added in linear bearings. I also worked on continuing to fix the assembly and I started to print out pieces of the printer!

Heres the 3D printer so far, I still need to work on the bed, electronics, and the Z-axis. I want this project to be mostly 3D printed. I worked to part-lighten the top and bottom frame pieces just so it looks cooler. I tried to make the leadscrew more 3D printable by increasing the diameter and changing the thread pitch. I think the Z-axis rods need a bit of work though, I’m still not sure if I should use metal ones or make them 3D printable as well.
