Hey Ivan, if you are not going to be moving this printer much, you might think about securing it to the wall or floor with bracing, that would instantly increase the rigidity of the frame quite a bit. Nice job on the new printer!!! Been missing some Ivan Miranda content, hope the next video is coming sooner that later, as you do a great job with all your projects!!!! 😀
@@saxplayingcompnerd Very true, my Prusa sometimes resonates through my desk, but Ivan has a concrete floor and at least one concrete block wall I can see, so no worries of vibration there.
@@saxplayingcompnerd I don´t think thats going to be an issue as long as the wall is a brick wall. Also the frequencies are probably much different compared to small 3d Printers. I just have a big concrete slab under my printer with an enclosure and vibrations are not a problem any more
Hey Ivan, Just wanted to let you know that you inspired me about three years ago to get my own 3d printer. Since i first saw your videos i had been dreaming of making my own workshop like yours. I just want to say thank you for inspiring me and my journey!
I couldn't imagine printing all of this out. I get halfway through a small project and my printer starts giving me fits and I give up for months at a time. This would never get finished if I was doing it. I applaud you sir.
Now, lets make a 20m x 20m version, and lets print a small school in vase mode 🤪 You work is INSANELY cool, the builds are AMAZING, your video edits are so fascinating, I just love this !
I subscribed many years ago to watch a Spanish madman do his thing and to this day you don't disappoint. What a beautiful monster! Can't wait to see the next part :)
The costs of things is hard. Aluminum can be harder to source in some places and much easier in others. He could have spent say $1000 USD on his but it would cost you $2000 USD and me $800 USD. Time to print and build time though would be interesting.
I have a bambulabs x1cc, printing one corner is 11 hours.. So i'm calculating 1 month with 24x7 running this one printer. Ordered another one by now to speed it up
Great work! Consider using Rivet Nuts on such thin aluminium walls. They are way stronger than simple thread i.n 2mm wall. And quite efficient on assembly
Ivan, your engineering is awesome!! Thank you! There are at least a dozen little details (materials, part numbers, manufacturers, vendors, design decisions, etc.) in your build that could use a video each to discuss. I hope you consider doing so.
I’m so obsessed with these videos, and just the idea of setting into a big project like this. I can’t wait to have my dream workshop and be able to spend my days tinkering and creating.
Your methodical building workflow is genius. Taping the larger piece of aluminum to the smaller piece to assemble the frame is absolutely genius and i’m stealing it.
Talk about why the old printer wasn't good...that would be super interesting! I mean we are here because we are interested in printers, why they are good and why they are not.
hey Ivan, You might want to consider looking at a way to use a pellet extruder in one of these awsome printers!, WAY higher threwput so would be realy nice for very larg prints! Another youtuber named Doctor D flow uses one and the prints come out realy fast!
have you thought of a print head that has a xy head, like regular sized printer that moves on a different xy head to get away from that the bigger you go the bigger the moving mass, you'd just slowly move the other xy around to move the xy that actually can do fast movements(but is limited in travel to 20x20 or whatever)? so you could still do local moves at 120mm/s or whatever with regular drivers, while that contraption then would be moved around slower while it's doing it's thing
I thought about doing something like this several years ago but with a Delta for the secondary. The problem with any sort of sub-tool assembly like these is that the person designing it will have to figure out how the kinematics interact and tell that to the firmware, as well as telling the firmware how to prioritize one set of kinematics over the other.
@@claws61821 yea there's different ways to do the kinematics, but that there isn't a pre-existing firmware definitely is a barrier, like with just more axis on a board and gcode pre-processor - let the existing look ahead and max speeds per axis and acceleration per axis routines just do as they already do and leave the firmware with not messed with(messes with fw pressure advance when moving them same time, but otherwise it's pretty much okay if a fw doesn't really know where the head is as long as the axis just move whatever they're told). I think early reprap morgans used this if i remember right and some early other alternative kinematics just used this preprocess the gcode method and run the printer as far as the printer knew as a normal xy printer. works fine enough for tinkering. not that it still would make writing the preprocessor simple, but performance wouldn't matter as it's not handled realtime. - or do it on the fly(hardest I'd think) with look ahead to see where to move the slower head while printing with with the fast one - basically same as the first one. - or a bunch of scripts and slice in 20x20 (or how much the head can move) segments and print the segments sequentally, interleave the gcode one segments one layer at a time and add the move to the next segment and then move the printhead just to the next segment area(simplest mathematics to figure out), and once all of the grid of segments is finished, raise z and go around again. simplest because you wouldn't be moving the heads at the same time, making everything conceptually much easier - at the same time it would be the jankiest of these 3. although this would make it simplest to run 2 of the printing heads idex style(or more). but yea you can't just chop off an ultimaker top end and glue it to this printer and call it a day, a LOT of the development time would go into the supporting software.
Thank you for marking the Onshape bit as sponsored! I've seen them on so many channels lately and none of them have even mentioned that they're doing paid promotion. I kinda feel like Onshape is specifically telling people not to mention the sponsorship and just talk about the service, which would be super shady.
Truly AWE inspiring, not only your engineering skills but the perfection of how you produced the video, just the right amount of info, scene changes, increased speed without missing any pertinant info. This is so kind of you to share this with us. How many hours should a person with basic engineering and good electronic skiils estimate the hours needed to build?
What if some of these long bolts inside extruded profile will lose tightness and unwind? How are you going to inspect it? Did you use a retainer when assembling bolts?
Your projects are truly exceptional and serve as a great source of inspiration! Thank you for generously sharing your work with the entire 3D printing community. ❤
Those are some huge pulleys connectected straight to the steppers without gearbox. 1 step is gonna be like 5mms of movement. You can microstep, but you'll loose torque. Arent you worried it will skip steps at higher speeds, or are they closed loop controlled?
How do you make the frame square? And how square does it need to be e.g. to the nearest mm - more/less? Normally for wood I would measure the diagonals with a tape measure, but that isn't all that accurate.
I love your camera work, choreography and content. Your videos are way better than any long drawn out TV efforts I have seen. Thank you. edit - P.S. and accent😊
When I see this I can't help thinking "car parts" . Specifically custom body panels . But that's just one idea . This is limited only by your imagination . Fantastic video as ever Ivan . Fattrucker
I sat through most of the frame assembly thinking "this should be welded. Doesn't retract from how cool this project is and hope it's a long lasting printer
Did you create your own software to command the motors how to feed the heated head and and the ones to roll along the belt? Just curious as this would e something id like to do but not sure how hard it would be to get it right
Well thank you. You thoroughly disillusioned me of thinking I could do anything similar on my budget. But real question. Why did you not just go the welding route?
to me, this device must use a 1mm nozzle, just as you chose. maybe even larger. and since this printer is so large, a filament extruder or a direct pellet extruder might be a cost saving method. the prints will be hardly below 15kg, so even a small print costs quite a lot (don't get me started on recycling of failed prints). suggestion for a first print: a benchie that can carry a person and has an electro motor.
Have you ever think to design a 5 axis 3d printer or a cnc mill?? It will be amazing to see a creation of yours on this kind of machines, all your videos are amazing never missed one since I watch one of your big 3d printers.
Ivan, great video. Just a question. Are you planning to change the feet with lockable castors? Just wondering as I can it being a pain to move if there is a failure or if you reorganize your work area due to it size and apparent weight.
Ivan; you should consider putting some deployable workbench caster wheels on this so you can move it around easier with less risk of warping the frame. They sell sets of four that stow and deploy on cam levers.
Jajaj primera vez que me aparece un video tuyo, te oigo hablar y automáticamente he pensado: este tio es español fijo jajajaj gran descubrimiento tu canal, aquí tienes un nuevo suscriptor!
Ivan this right here is why anytime you want to have residency at Boko you'd be welcome - in fact I'll build one of these and document because you are so awesome.
For the corner connections, would it have been easier to design and print end caps that held captive nuts on the sides for the corner pieces to bolt to (instead of the minimal thread taps into the aluminum side wall) and then also had an embedded nut on the end to bolt on the cross pieces?
I should get a head start on building this.
It opens a world of possibilities, BIG ones!

Has to be big enough to print a fully articulated iron Man armor in one shot😊
That would be really cool
It is 😁
Ivan size armour or normal human 😅
What kind of filaments do you need for the arc reactor?
I mean, it needs to WORK, right? And that means a power source.
This is probably a dumb question, but how the nozzle move downward to print?

Impresionante Ivan, te has vuelto a superar. La edición también es sublime, esa especie de stop motion taladrando y atornillando te quedó genial.

Most excellent video. No extra crap, no overly long procedures. Good job!
Es impresionante lo que hace este hombre.
Eres un crack Iván.
Muchas gracias por todo lo que haces. Enhorabuena
LOVED that little red rod guide bit you made for the interior of the extruded aluminum. That was a brilliant solution to that known issue.
What if some of these long bolts inside extruded profile will lose tightness and unwind? How are you going to inspect it? Did you use a retainer when assembling bolts?
Would splitting the corners into three pieces make them stronger by keeping the layers in each sides direction?
Your projects are truly exceptional and serve as a great source of inspiration! Thank you for generously sharing your work with the entire 3D printing community. ❤
Why did you add the threaded rod to attach everything together - wouldn't the corner braces be strong enough to hold everything?
When are you going to build one big enough to fill the entire work space?
At this rate soon
Your projects are so unique and inspiring to watch! Thank you for sharing this with the rest of the 3D printing community. ❤
I am always impressed with your creativity and engineering skills.
This is my favorite video of all times I really want to make my own one, you're truly the GOAT Ivan 😎😎
Guess I'll just go and make something😊
I'm new to all of this 3d printing stuff, but wow am I impressed! Incredible build! You're an absolute legend Ivan!
Absolutely ludicrously massive printer, has more reasonable touch probe offsets than most desktop machines.

1:20 Arggggghh...caliper is NOT for scratching
You are quite the craftsman my friend. And fast on the drill LOL
The lack of washers being used in this build is astonishing. Anyways, Great engineering Ivan!
how are you threading into the aluminum extrusion? Are those bolts self tapping? Are you worried about stripping?
Really great build but your cable management is the best part for me. Keep up the great work.
Are you using plastic pellets or filament on this? I suppose you will need a huge volume/mass and regular filament would be very inconvenient.
When I see this I can't help thinking "car parts" .
Specifically custom body panels .
But that's just one idea .
This is limited only by your imagination .
