Author:Mariano Conde Caballero
I am a senior student of electronic telecommunications systems
Then I 'll describe you how I did it . I will start to explain you how I made the prototype needed to make pieces of the final printer, I hope you like it and you feel
encouraged to make your own 3D printer.

6 Stainless steel bars(80 cm of 8 mm) --> Price: 17,42€ (In hardware store)
To carry out all this process I followed the tutorial on next website:

Step 3: Setting the Pololus
Firstly we have to adjust the pololus to limit the maximum current that will consume the engines.To do this we need a multimeter (to see the current flowing through the
motor), a ceramic screwdriver and Pronterface program. What we must do is to put a motor on the connector of the extruder and make it work through Pronterface
program. Then we will adjust the pololus potentiometers, one by one, until the desired values, which in our case are: 400 mA for the extruder and 200 mA for each axis
(X, Y, Z). To view the current we will use the multimeter.

I recommend you to see it, as it is very well explained and it includes some videos.

Step 4: Firmware
For firmware settings I advise you to follow the tutorial in this website:

here you have my file set. You should set it depending on the size of your printer.

We print the plane in A2 format, then the plane is placed on a wood and we cut it. This is done to both, the bottom and the top. Then we drilled holes with 8 mm drill. It is
recommended to drill the holes with the two boards together to make it more accurate. At the top we will make a big hole where we will place the engine of the extruder.
At the base we will make a small hole to put wires of hotbed.
To hold the filament we cut a piece of wood bar and two pieces as you can see in the pictures. We put steel rods into the holes. The pulleys are caught with a screw in
the center of the edge of the wood without pressing to make it can turn easily.

Step 6: Construction of the arms and support for the hotend
For the construction of the arms, we cut six pieces of carbon fiber tube of 215 mm and 12 pieces of 50 mm threaded rod. Then in a wood, we screwed two screws at a
distance of 250 mm and we will cut off the head of the screw. Then we paste the rods to carbon fiber tube and traxxas. we place these rods in the two screws that we put
into the wood. This procedure must do for the 6 rods.
I used a metallic glass that are used in desserts for supporting the hotend. We cut the glass with Dremel as shown in the pictures. We assemble all the screws and put a
dock to snug.

Step 7: Construction of supports for bearings
For bearings I used two pieces of wood in the form of T. We made some holes to hold bearings with clips. To hold arms, I put two metal angles for each carbon fiber tube.
Finally, to hold the strap it has been used staples, It has strained well and then have it all other staples. Then I tried if it was working well in the printer.

Step 8: Placing the HotBed and EndStop
To put a glass or mirror above the HotBed, I have milled holes of hotbed to introduce the heads of the screws.. Then I have soldered a led and power cables.The
thermistor has been fastened in the center of the bed with Kapton tape.
The EndStop have been fastened with the wire as you can see in the picture.

Step 9: Finished prototype
In the images we can see the finished prototype and some manufactured parts. As you can see the quality is not too good but enough to build the final printer.

Step 10: Calibration
This is the most difficult step to make because you have to dedicate a lot time to get calibrate it perfectly.The HotBed must be leveled perfectly and make that the Hotend
touch slightly a sheet between the bed and the HotEnd.
You can see these videos where the author suggests what you should do:

Step 12: Creation and painted the structure of the final printer
We build a box for the base of the printer with pine wood. We do all holes including 2 large holes for fans, these be in charge of refrigerate all the electronics. For the
backside we use a pine board. I have cut the top in a rounded shape and I have milled it. Finally we give several coats of varnish with spray, leaving as shown in the
pictures.

Step 13: Placement of engines
We put the motors as shown in the pictures. We also place pulleys and EndStop with their pieces.
http://www.instructables.com/id/3d-Home-Printer-With-Arduino/
Step 14: Placement of arms
In this step, we just have to put the pieces together with screws and mount it on the structure of the printer.
http://www.instructables.com/id/3d-Home-Printer-With-Arduino/
Step 15: Finalization of the printer
The only thing left to do is to connect all the electronic (including the screen with the support that was printed before) and to tense the straps slightly. In the images we
can see the printer already finished.

Step 16: Prints made
As you can see from the pictures, the prints are already quality but to achieve it I have been almost a month calibrating everything and printing several times the printer
pieces.
