- In this episode I make the frame and mechanics of a giant 3D printer from scratch, why? because I need to print something really big for an incoming project. It is a Prusa clone and I'm pretty happy how it is looking right now. I will do all the wiring and programming next and hopefully It'll be back on this channel soon.
The profiles I used on this episode were gifted to me by a friend and I really liked them, these can hold M4 nuts on the channels so here goes the free plug:

I’ve always envisioned making one 800x800mm, I drew up the plans in CAD and everything, and now I’m able to financially support the project, and this video reminded me and encouraged me, I’ll be ordering the parts soon, hopefully I can make it work as good as yours looks it works
How did the project go?
Would also love to know!
How much is it to build it?
me tooo, but I'm just school student so won't be able to support it financially though
@@varunahlawat9013 same I’m building a 10 ft rocket and submarine so a big printer would be useful
You know this guy is a pro, when he can drill perfectly straight holes with a hand drill. Way too advanced for me lol.
Drill press
No, it means the opposite. An experienced amateur, but an amateur nonetheless.
Forget the drilling, the two bits I don't like are the tapping and filing. He needs to get the tap squarer to the hole to ensure the threads come out square to the end.
As for filing, he needs to lift on the back stroke to get a flatter surface
yeah you just cant drill square without press
WOAH! Now I must build that 19" 3D printer that had been bouncing around in my brain for over a year ... no more excuses! Excellent video as always. Thank you for sharing! Cheers! JM
Go go go!
For a bed this size it might make sense to move the gantry back and forth instead of the bed.
That mirror has to weigh a zillion pounds (that’s about half a zillion kilos)!
"Make sense" is an extremely ambiguous term. The mirror weighs a zillion pounds though, you nailed it.
exactly what I was thinking, that mirror + the weight of the print, is massive. tahts a lot of weight moving around especially on belts, would have been better having the mirror on z with a couple of ball screws, and nozzle on x and y. That's what I'm currently building but 400x400 although will take a while, buying a couple of things a month. Titan aqua is expensive. also cant decide what board at the moment, do love the duets interface over marlin, but they are expensive.
@@GlaucusBlue For board options Id look into the SKR v1.3 and potentially running klipper off a rpi with it
I also think he needs bigger stepper motors for the y carriage to achieve reasonable printing speed
it wont be fast thats for sure but if hes is printing with a 1 mm (or even more) thats not as bad
This is so well documented and it’s like everything you need to make it is right in front of you, except I personally could not get those drilling skills overnight lol. Awesome content!
The idea of a large 3d Printer is a dream of mine. Seeing this makes it look possible but it would be great to see someone do a step by step guide on making this…. It would also be nice to see some of your followers questions answered…. Just a thought.
You might want to put a cross-brace in the middle of your "mirror-carrier" so it wouldn't bow in the middle over time. Maybe also upgrade the belts to 9 or 12mm. The bed weights a lot probably and you've done well by using 2 motors to drive it. However, the belts (given they are the standard 6mm belts) will stretch a lot faster by slinging that weight :P So bigger belts can resist the higher torque, resulting in less slack over time, and better prints! Nice job however :D Already looking forward to the next 5 videos!
You look ... "uncontrollable man". I don't see that! I see your work! AWESOME !!!! Clear, details enough and wow - I can make my own too after seeing your video, bor !
Great job!
Hey.
Can you write all the parts you used for this printer and the installation step by step? Love my friend 😘
Wonderful, can not wait to see how it works.
Dude, you are insane :)
Making such an intricate instrument from scratch is very impressive
Your first Giant 3d printer was what made me start watching in the first place :)
That was a long time ago, in some ways I want to finish that chapter with this one
@@ivanmirandawastaken Do you have something BIG you need to print ?
Yes, but it is secret for now (mwahahaha)
@@ivanmirandawastaken I hope it's a mini Ivan.
NICE!!! looks like a CR 10000 🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍😍😍
now that is not only cool but showing your skills as a true builder/engineer! good for you.
Sir id just like to tell u ur my absolute favorite person on earth
You Sir. are a mad Genius and my new favorite UA-cam Channel.
I'd recommend adding a support across the middle of the bottom of the mirror. I feel like that much unsupported glass could cause the mirror to bend slightly and could result in an uneven surface. Love the design though!!!
You can print a full size doghouse on a single run with this! Great engineering skills!
unfortunately that's quite poor engineering skills. Most important in engineering to know where to compromise. This heavy moving bed is very bad idea.
I hope that Y axis somehow ends up working as intended. That bed will have a huge inertia that could cause some nasty ripples. Excited to see more!
everyday i turn on my computer praying the part 2 will be out
me and you both brother.
Came back today to look.
@@jake360flip same
Beautiful job there ! Thank you for sharing ... 🇬🇧
I am definitely downloading the fusion files for this could come in handy someday
Jebidiah_Crumps where do you find the fusion files for this?
Following
Did you download them? The link seems broken at this point? Would you be willing to send me a copy?
@@CS-ec7gl oh yeah I did they have been sitting in my fusion account all this time somehow I never saw these comments asking for them how would you like them sent to you?
Cool! I would put some diagonal braces to the top to reduce vibrations.
Which vibrations? (Honest question)
Looking great!! Cant wait to see some massive parts!
You will! Thanks!
I wonder if you could at some point release plans for a smaller version of a 3D printer for us folks who don't have space and budget for this monster.. I would love to upgrade/re-use my ender 3 to build maybe a 400X400mm or 500x500mm printer.. Love your channel and builds.. :)
You definitely need an E3D Supervolcano for this.
In the mail
FDM printer time is dependent on volume, which is third power of printed object height (=not really scalable). Resin printers on the other hand take time proportional only to object height itself (=lineary scalable)... The printing time of "Radon transform 3D printers" is (theoreticaly) not related to the object size at all (=very scalable). So i guess for very big prints we will need to change the technology (as long as we're not willing to go with huge nozzles, eg. like they did in concrete casting 3D printers)
@@harviecz large volume SLA machines have existed for quite a long time, I've personally had some entire gearbox casings SLA printed... The issue isn't scalability, the issue is material properties - SLA resins produce nice smooth surfaces but they're incredibly brittle and have terrible thermal properties. FDM carries a fairly huge advantage in the diverse range of materials that can be printed.
Ivan Miranda how do I get ahold of the fusion files for this?
Yes
You never cease to amaze us Ivan. Keep it up.
Mark1, Mark2, Mark3, Mark4, Mark Ruffalo
BTW. You've got a lot faster since the "big" 3d printer back then.
I may get there sometime...
HOLLY MOLLY MAN THAT IS JUST FRAKING AWESOME!
You sir are a mad man!
I was going to be worried about how heavy the bed was that may restrict fast movements, but when you said super volcano I realized it won't be moving fast, just printing BIG
That better be some thick mirror, even glass is going to sage at that size when heated. Keeping this thing flat and level will be a nightmare.
Hi, Ivan! Is it possible to cut profiles so accurately without this machine? And the same thing about drilling... How do you make it so perpendicular? I think if I'll try the same thing, my frame will be skewed.
Is this in preparation for a plane that you can fit in and fly. Great video. 🤣🤣
😂😂 thanks!
@@ivanmirandawastaken ok, once the tank is done, sounds like a new multi-year plane project is in order.
Great job! I look forward to see the next video!
Thanks!
“You call that a 3D printer?!”
*slaps frame of 3D printer
*”THIS is a 3D printer!”*
You do so much in each video, truly impressive.
I'm thousands of miles away from my 3D printer right now since I'm currently deployed in Kuwait, but your videos are making want to go back for bigger, better designs and prints! Love your work! So inspiring! Also your happiness is contagious! Love from Puerto Rico🇵🇷
just found your channel and I'm already addicted! hoping to put this extra motivation into my own CNC and large scale printer projects!
Curious as to why you drilled through the extrusion instead of using T nuts and angle brackets for the frame.
That's what I was thinking and most likely why the bottom frame was flimsy and needed a bunch of extra material to strengthen it.
much better alignment and rigidity in a square frame that way
@@cda32 depends a lot on how they cut the profile
Using t-slot compatible brackets would have been much stronger and easier to square up and make adjustments. And probably would have only added a few dollars to the build.
T-nuts are a royal pain in the tookus..
what an energetic and pro build video.
me … WOW y you need big printer?
you BIGEST 3d printed TANK ON UA-cam :D
me ...thinking … next up full size drive able tank lol :D
Lol
I read the title and thought "Who needs such big printers"? Most people are better served with multiple smaller printers. Unless you want to build tanks from PLA...
Why say lot words when few do work
Can you give us a look into the planning process of this massive amazing machine? Love your projects!!
I think you've seen most of it, I'm really in a hurry with this build
Maybe some videos on the CAD and your thinking process when inventing the cool things you make? I'm a mechanical engineering student and I'm fascinated by all the thought that goes into the projects.. ☺️
Aren't you going to need some support unde rthe middle of the mirror? I woudl think due to the size of it, you're going to get some drooping.
That's incredible.
I kind of want him to stream or time lapse a print on that thing.
You definetely want to stabilize the frame and maybe switch to full screw drives (belts may need a high tension, to keep prints clean and even, which would strain the motors)
The frame is stable, belts? Could you please reason your suggestions further?
Awesome video. This printer is looking really sturdy even though it's so large. It'll be really useful for all your big projects.
I hope so yes. Thanks!
time to print the ultimate benchy!
More please. This is so cool. No pressure tho.
I'm good at doing what he shows at 5:01, but I don't think I could build a printer.
Bravo.
Bruh I'm crying I'm laughing so hard.
hhahahahhaha
I found this by accident but I am so glad I did your roller with the x motor mount is exactly what I need to fix an issue I've been having with my ender 2 but I might need to find a way to mount my extruder motor differently
This guy makes 3DPrintingNerd look like a 3rd grader 🤣
3D printing Nerd is a 3rd grader, and this guy is in kindergarten. The only 3D printing guys on UA-cam with any real technical knowledge are Angus Devenson and Thomas Sanladerer. Most of the rest are just idiots printing giant versions of crap off of Thingiverse.
So, we are going to have several videos about dynamic stiffness. Or how slow can The extruder move. A word to the wise this will all be about accelerations settings. Still a great idea you need a much larger printer for the parts that you are printing
The extruder will move pretty fast on the X axis. But yes, I guess this calls for some tricks with the slicer.
man if only you had access to a 3d metal printer, you would be a one man economic boom
Amazing build, good job as always
Wait no, you need auto bed leveling on this big of a bed. Temperature variations can cause uneven bed surface. Please, please get an auto bed leveler
He'll probably add a capacitive probe later. Adding auto bed leveling is super easy but you gotta have your x carriage loaded up with all your gear first
I don't know, but it looks like he knows what's he doing.
that was a clever use of the v-slot wheels for the bed movement
not gonna lie, i cried a little when i saw you cut the threads :D
Amazing work
That looks alright Ivan, look forward in seeing how it serves you over time.
This is good. This is nice
Thanks!
@@ivanmirandawastaken the files for the minitank mk3 do you still sell them?
The best part about this design is that it can be scaled up or down fairly easily once it’s finished
Dude. That’s awesome. Can’t wait to see it in action. And more interestingly what you make with it!
Great build so far, iv'e already printed off your x axis parts for one of my old ender 3's. Can't wait to see the finished product. Awesome job as usual..
Amazing video! Thanks for sharing! However, I wonder if, for such a huge and impressive printer like this one, wouldn't it be better to use a Core XY instead? Additionally, what kind of mirror glass are you using? Regular? Is the surface too brittle? I love your videos! Please keep it up! :)
clean design to build it in any size. thanks for sharing
im so going to make one of theses
Wait for me to finish it...
Magnifico video Ivan! Has hecho una guia de como hacerlo? Me encantaria poder moverme del Prusa i3 a una impresora grande asi. Me beneficiaria para unos proyectos que tengo en mente donde la superficie tan pequena me limita.
i might be missing the big picture here (no pun intended)...
why does someone need a huge printer like that? i mean, what is bigger than a tank that needs huge parts?
You won't trick me that easily into giving away what is it for but good try.
I think he wants to use it to print less parts so that he can leave the printer alone for longer without having to clear the bed and starting a new print
I won't fall for that either
a full sized tank
I'm hoping it is for bigger or more tank parts. If he can make two bogies wheels for suspension instead of one he just cut production time in half. Plus I'm also curios on what he is going to do with the upper half of that chassis. I'll just wait for the upcoming videos!
I was searching something like this on UA-cam for while now thank you a lot
Mh, I'm pretty sure it's for the gun turret of your tank, to print it in one piece. Am I right? ;)
You are all trying to get me to spill the beans. Mute, I'M MUTE!
Dude that is off the hook! Wish you had a pdf to download. :)
This printer will forever be known as the "Crazy Ivan" and nothing can sway me from this point of view.
Looking around I believe this is the first rectangular bed shape I've seen for some reason thought there would be a problem having a rectangular bed clearly not though
congratulation on building such a awesome printer! I have question - where are the measurements for installing Z frame i.e. how much space to from back/front of frame etc.? I am in middle of building one and need to understand measurement for this printer. waiting for reply, thanks :)
also do you happen to have the bill of materials (BOM)?
Deadly! Waiting for part 2
Ivan, can you please talk about costs the next time?
Coño! pana! gracias! voy a poder hacer mi propia 3D printer gracias a ti. Grande!!!!!
If anybody actually needs a stupid-size-printer, it's Ivan Miranda!
if anybody needs stupid coments, its Andreas Klostermann ... I have 5 printers ENDER 3, they are for me as working horses with nonstop printing .. BUT for lot of my projects is not to enought bed with size 330x330 ... so I am bulding CUBE printers by myself ... now I am working on printer for printing BIG SCALE RC TANKS with 900x350x250mm dimensions ... in building progress is next printer with dual printing head that print 2x dimension in X axis in same time ... dimensions 2x 400x300x250mm ... one driver to X axis with 2 motors (1 LEFT / 1 RIGHT) no needs tension for belt on X axis ... one driver for 2 extruder motors ...
note: about HEATBED ... I am not using heatbeds on all my printers, heatbeds are DISABLED and wires are out from beds, I ma printing on cold borosilicate 4mm glass sheets only with spray adhezion tool (3DLak) and no problems printing everythink what I want/need ...
I am printing PLA, ASA275 and sometimes PETG ... no ABS, TPU etc. materials ... and for BIG bed sizes bigger than 330x330 is 0.6 nozzle right choice ... same layer with bigger nozzle = same result with shorter printing time about 20% ... with same quality
so thats is reaction to your comment ... who can build printer as DIY project at home, never build 220x220x220 ... for this size is ENDER 3 straight to buy from Aliexpress ...
This is the greatest thing ever made
Like, fav y subs.
Just wondering how I’ll print those red parts before having the 3D printer hahah ;)
Two questions: how much does it cost? and what about the software?
U can ask someone else with a printer to print them for you?
If you didn't do it until now tho...
Good day Ivan.
Im impressed with your 3D printer. I am currently trying to build one. Will you be able to tell me all the names of the components that you used on your 3D printer. I will send you pictures of my 3D printer once i have completed it.
How much will / has this project cost? It seems like it could be cheaper than a store bought printer of this size, right?
Should be, I guess so, yes
@@ivanmirandawastaken You don't actually know how much this printer cost you so far in euros? Or did you sacrifice your screwdriver for it (as you are using an actual hammer ;-P)?
My kit 3d printer was $2.500 .UK brand hopless still struggling to get it working .I shood of got u to bild me a 3d printer lol....this is lookn cool an strong frame so fare .bed wait an bed plate. Hope can hold the wait .luv to cee next vid adding all the electrics n printer head .is the printer head move down to print plate or does print plate move up n down to printer head ..
From other posts it seems like he’s not finished and parts are still coming so things can still change. Also 3d printers have a huge price range.
Riley Fenley yeah, seems like he’s being overly vague and short with his responses...
The biggest issue i see with that bed is the heat flex of the mirror. With no support its going to droop down in the middle especially now that you have the added extra weight of the heat pad and thermal cover. You may get an initial flat surface but over time with continual heating and cooling the mirror will warp and you'll get an uneven print surface.
Hands down one of my favorite channels!
Your projects are always really awesome and your enthusiasm makes it that much more fun!!
I don't know if you were planning on it but are you going to do a part two for the wiring electronics and first print, if not you should
This is an interesting build. I've been debating building my own large-form printer. I'm curious how far you can scale this without it causing warping/weight issues? Also, I've always wondered why nobody ever seems to use linear rails for these builds?
My only thing really is some Y axis stabilization for the top of those rods. Otherwise, I may or may not have something to do over the next couple of weekends.
This machine will never work right. :-)
Would it be crazy to suggest you only print parts on this printer in a different color? It would be interesting to see some yellow parts that are super huge with red parts that are smaller.
Love this design and build as usuall cant wait to see the finished job
Thanks!
@@ivanmirandawastaken will there be a full instruction manual on how to cut the profiles and assemble the whole thing in the end?
this would be soo great ofcourse i would pay for it
KR
Amazing project! With that size I would have imagined a corexy, but after seeing how huge the bed is I can't imagine a way to reliably make it go up and down reliably!
What nozzle size are you planning to put on the supervolcano? I am concerned that the mirror could flex a little under its weight and that of the print, and that the white seals that supports it may compress a little. But if you print with really large nozzles the flex might be negligible. My last concern is that you are going to print so much plastic that the price of red filament is going to increase due to a shortage in supply!
This is a dream? Ooohhh my.... I want one that in my room!!! Congrats for this job! Success and waiting for the next video to see this beauty melting plastic
Thanks!
not enough spacers in this video LOL !
This printer is amazing !! Good job !! ;)
We that you can print large silhouettes. Please print a Mona Lisa painting silhouette and hang it on the back 😂
😂
Dude PLZ bring this Design to buy online this thing would be amazin to print with
I don't think it will be THAT amazing. This printer will have problems considering quality and speed, use tons of electricity for heating and moving, and have a print height comparable to Cr-10 clones/variants. The only thing it might be superbly good at is printing big flat objects relatively fast...
Incredible
I saw a real hammer!
Heresy!
Probably it was just used as a screwdriver.
I started following you when you build your first larger 3D Printer. That was so many episodes ago and back in your house. What happened to that printer?
On the printing bed leveling: with a larger print would the weight of the print cause it to go off level?
Absolutely. I think there's probably going to be an upgrade video or two down the line after that problem comes up. Probably the easiest option would be a diagonal brace to support the center of the bed and restrict sagging to a few cm from the corners that aren't over the brace bar.
William Shreckengost I thought he would have gone higher capacity but the sagging might be a minor issue. I was wondering if the spring loaded balance technique will get affected on this with the larger weight and center of gravity shift (as mentioned).
@MichaelKingsfordGray You're right, I was stuck on the bed, instead of the whole Y carriage. It's definitely beyond the means of the kind of springs that'd normally get that job, but lock nuts might be able to do the job well enough. (Though it's definitely a speed cap either way.) If not, it could be down to a fixed bed mount, which is going to take a hobbyist's fortune in measurement tools to set, and linear rails instead of V-rollers to take out some of the wobble potential. Not that I wasn't already convinced, but I'm seeing another good reason to go CoreXY at this scale.
