In this video, Iβm sharing my top 20 open-source 3D printers you need to know about. Brought to you by the Narwal FREO Z10 β save up to $250 with code NEXTLAYER11 at https://jle.vi/narwal One of the most incredible things about the 3D printing community is how innovation happens through open-source collaboration. All around the world, passionate makers, designers, and engineers are constantly pushing the boundaries of what consumer 3D printers can doβand sharing their projects freely for others to build on. π This year, Iβve made it my mission to spotlight some of the most exciting open-source 3D printing projects out thereβand you guys have been amazing in helping uncover even more with every video. So I went deep: crawling through GitHub, forums, subreddits, and Discord groups to discover the most underrated, under-the-radar, open-source 3D printer projects that deserve the spotlight. I narrowed down HUNDREDS of options to a shortlist of just 50, and now, by popular demand, Iβm breaking them down into a multi-part series. In this video, weβre diving into the top open-source 3D printer builds you need to know about. Stay tuned, because there are 2 more videos coming in the series! π€« Get my custom filament and printer profiles, buyers guides, and more on Patreon: https://patreon.com/thenextlayer π¬ JOIN MY DISCORD: https://jle.vi/tnl-discord π₯ IN THIS VIDEO: π₯ 00:00 Introduction 01:34 Background 03:03 LH stinger by LemurHaze 04:00 Positron by KRALIN & LDO Motors 04:39 Lemontron 05:05 Duender by Sergey Irbis 05:40 Ender 3 NG by RH3D 06:44 The 100 by MSzturc 07:20 VzBot by Vez3D 08:42 Micron by Printers for Ants 09:33 Salad Fork by Printers for Ants 10:48 The Double Dragon by Printers for Ants 11:50 Dueling Zero by Printers for Ants 13:55 Annex Engineering K3 15:01 ZeroG Mercury One 15:56 Viking3D Valkyrie by Roy Bensten 16:43 The Rook by Rolohaun Design 17:27 The Rook 2020 MK2 by Rolohaun Design & Kanrog 17:58 Fenrir CoreXY by MakerViking 18:40 Infini-Z by SunShine 19:12 Babybelt Pro by Printcepts 19:34 Milo CNC by Millenium Machines 20:30 Conclusion π LINKS MENTIONED IN THE VIDEO: π π Buy LH stinger: https://jle.vi/gtls π LH stinger GitHub: https://jle.vi/lhstin π Support LH Stinger: https://jle.vi/suppor π Buy Positron: https://jle.vi/gtpm | https://jle.vi/gtp3j π Lemontron: https://jle.vi/laly | https://jle.vi/lals π Duender: https://jle.vi/latd π Support Sergey Irbis: https://jle.vi/suppor1 π Ender 3 NG GitHub: https://jle.vi/e3ng π Sub to RH3D: https://jle.vi/subscr π Support RH3D: https://jle.vi/suppor2 π 100 by MSzturc Github: https://jle.vi/1bmg π Sub to Matt The Printing Nerd: https://jle.vi/stmtpn π Support The 100: https://jle.vi/suppor3 π VzBot: https://jle.vi/learna π VzBot GitHub: https://jle.vi/vzbotg π Sub to Vez3D: https://jle.vi/subscr1 π Support Vez3D: https://jle.vi/suppor4 π Printer for Ants: https://jle.vi/lapfa π Buy Micron / Salad Fork: https://jle.vi/gtmasf π Micron GitHub: https://jle.vi/micron π Salad Fork GitHub: https://jle.vi/saladf π Double Dragon GitHub: https://jle.vi/double π Dueling Zero GitHub: https://jle.vi/duelin π Buy Annex Engineering K3: https://jle.vi/gtaek π Annex Engineering K3 GitHub: https://jle.vi/aekg π Buy Mercury One: https://jle.vi/gtmo π Mercury One: https://jle.vi/latmo π Support Zero G: https://jle.vi/suppor5 π Valkyrie GitHub: https://jle.vi/valkyr π Valkyrie Frame Kit: https://jle.vi/vfkm | https://jle.vi/vfkf π Sub to PRO 3D (Roy Berntsen): https://jle.vi/stp3 π Support PRO 3D (Roy Berntsen): https://jle.vi/suppor6 π Sub to Rolohaun: https://jle.vi/subscr2 | https://jle.vi/roloha π Fenrir CoreXY: https://jle.vi/lafc π Sub to MakerViking: https://jle.vi/subscr3 π Support MakerViking: https://jle.vi/suppor7 π Sub to SunShine: https://jle.vi/subscr4 π Support SunShine: https://jle.vi/suppor8 π Buy BabyBelt Pro: https://jle.vi/gtbp π BabyBelt Pro GitHub: https://jle.vi/babybe π Milo CNC GitHub: https://jle.vi/milocn π Support Millennium Machines: https://jle.vi/suppor9 π My previous open letter to the 3D printing community: https://jle.vi/openle π My video on LDO Positron V3: https://jle.vi/lpvfi π Podcast w/ The MakerViking: https://jle.vi/interv π Podcast w/ Jake England: https://jle.vi/iwje π MandicReally's Mercury One.1 Build: https://jle.vi/mercur π RECOMMENDED GEAR: π π Complete list of 3D Printing accessories: https://kit.co/jlevi/3d-printing πMy favorite thing to 3D Print: https://jle.vi/multiboard πMy recommended electronics & control boards: https://jle.vi/bigtreetech π My favorite 3D printing "accessory": https://jle.vi/magigoo | https://jle.vi/whambam π My favorite 3D printing filament: https://jle.vi/polymaker π PLEASE CONSIDER SUPPORTING BY SHOPPING W/ MY LINKS! https://jle.vi/links #3dprinting #3dprinted #3dprinter
