3D Printer
➔ Low Cost
Replicating parts using a 3d printer makes it low
cost..
➔ Accessible
Lower cost means schools, hobbists and more
people can buy one and use.
➔ Open Source
Anyone can build it and share their own techniques!
Well how much does it cost?
Less than 20k!
(Lesser if more materials are sourced locally)
Using a combination of
frugal engineering and
locally sourced
components and more
importantly by 3d printing
complex parts we can
build a reliable printer that
can print at scale (15x15x15)
while maintaining quality.
Parts Needed
1. 3D Printed Parts
2. Locally sourced aluminium framework
3. Repurposed parts from a toy mechanics kit meant for
children (and grown ups who are children inside)
4. Standard mechanical parts like rods, bearing etc that can
be sourced in bulk cheaply or made in house using a latte
5. Standard CNC controller board and computer power
supply
3D Printed Parts
● Low cost
● Reliable
● Open source
● Ideal for rapid prototyping
