3D printers are awesome devices and what fascinates me is its construction so I decided to understand how it works and what all goes into a 3D printer and for this I took help from Voron Design documentation to document a list of various spares that go into building a 3D printer.
- the hardware
- aluminium extrusions
- pulleys
- linear rails
- belts
- synchromesh an alternative to belts
- rods for z-axis
- aluminium bed
- 3d printed parts for the frame
- hotend
- nozzle
- electronics
- controller board
- compatible raspberry pi
- power supply
- toolboard
- stepper drivers to drive the motors
- stepper motors for X Y Z axis
- stepper motors to drive the X Y Z axis and extruder
- thermistor
- bed heat coil (need to understand whats it called)
