DIY Manual Printer

    Hello,

    I created a rather basic 3d printer for TPT that prints the most plasticky stuff possible (FILT).

     

    I was wondering whether anybody would be willing to try it out? It's easily breakable and is quite simple, so be careful when transferring the printer pod from PSTN arm to arm.

     

    Cheers.

    1)not 3d.(i know you put the name so to attract people :P)
    2)your way of vertical/horizontal movement is useless. If we use horizontal then vertical becomes(almost) useless. the same other way around. It is actually easily possible to put vertical moving pstn inside the frme for horizontal movement so after moving horizontally,move vertically. after you're done, move vertically all the way back and it's horizontal movement again.
    3)give buttons with wifi near print button for movement so people don't have to zoom in to use the buttons every time.
    4)also,as a bonus, perhaps give btry-swich stuff to make the thing move continuosly instead of sparking everytime..

    Put all this in and you got awsome material!

    ..maybe...maybe i'll try this when i have time myself...

    Is it applicable in any type of filament such as Taulman T-Glase like this one http://www.3d2print.net/shop/product/taulman-tglase-clear/? It would be great if it supports different materials instead of just plastic stuff. That makes it easier for you to have plenty of options of what to print.
