Building a Large Format 3D Printer – Part 5: Upgrades!
Dr. D-Flo
@drdfloAbout
My name is David Florian, and I go by the moniker Dr. D-Flo in the online world. My content focuses on digital fabrication techniques, which are any workflows that rely on a computer to control the manufacturing process. This includes both additive (e.g., 3D printers) and subtractive (e.g., CNC mills) machines. In the past, these devices were large, complex, and only found in industrial warehouses. But today, for a couple hundred dollars anyone can purchase a 3D printer, CNC router, or laser cutter. This channel focuses on not only how to program and use these instruments but also how to build them. My video guides cover a spectrum of information for both the beginner and the seasoned DIYer. I error on the side of providing too much information because it can be frustrating to watch a video and leave with more questions than answers. I am always looking for project collaborators and industrial partners, so feel free to reach out to me through the email.

Part 5 of this massive printer build includes an enclosure, closed-loop motors, and electronics upgrades!

The build volume is enclosed with plasma cut sheet metal, CNC milled components, and topped with a massive ABS hat – 3D printed of course! Inevitably there were some issues and expensive mishaps as Dr. D-Flo attempted to print with ABS pellets, a material notorious for warping. But active chamber heating, a new pellet vibrator upgrade, closed-loop stepper motors, and CAN expansion boards vastly increased the reliability of this printer.
