This repository aggregates resources for people with very limited resources (like Cuban makers) to build their own 3D printers with the minimal number of components and material. Solutions cover a wide range of possibilities so that people can get started quickly according to eventual availability facing scarcity.
The key value of this repository are:
- A list of tools needed in a Fablab, both generic and serving to specific purposes
- A curated selection of parts, instructions and resources compiled across open source projects needed to build digital manufacturing tools
- Parametric designs of each tool including:
- Detailed geometry of single parts
- Bill of materials (a.k.a BOM)
- Parameters for satisfying a wide range of models and product families tested and used in practice to assemble real machines
- Parameters to position machine tool at a given spatial configuration
The following tools might help in setting a Fablab up:
- 3D printers
- Prusa i3
- P35X70 a DIY alternative using Al extrusions easy to buy in Cuba
- ANET A8 clone a DIY alternative using E2040 profiles, Marlin, and RAMPS
- CoreXY octanorm implements a CoreXY mechanical system using Octanorm extrusion profiles for the frame.
- Prusa i3
The following DIY parts may also be manufactured for assemblying machines.
- Bearing
- Extrusions
- LCD case
- Pulleys
- Spool holder
See project wiki for further details.
Some of the features implemented in this project require the following libraries installed in OPENSCADPATH:
- DIY RAMPS board.
