  • In this video, I will be building a Tinkernut’s DIY 3d printer cnc machine from scratch for under $50 using a 3d printing pen, Cd-Rom drives, an Arduino, and stepper motor drivers.
    This homemade 3d printer was a lot of fun to make and didn't take to long to build.
    ►The original designer of this 3D printer (Tinkernut):
    • How To Make A Cheap 3D...
    ►How to build this 3d printer: • Make a 3D Printer From...
    ▼PARTS LIST:
    2 Wii Optical Drives $0: Got these from broken Wii consoles.
    A Dell Computer Cd Drive $0: Got from old broken computer.
    A 3D Printing Pen $18: rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53...
    An Arduino Uno R3 Knock Off $12: rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53...
    3 Stepper Motor Drivers $15: rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53...
    Total = $45

      same, but now i have 2 creality printers, back then it felt like a daunting thing to make, but now it just feels like a weekend project that i would do, and watching it now one can easily point out where the design/idea has flaws and can be improved

    From the clip at the begining of the video I tought the print quality was going to be sketchy af but seing the close up at the end I must say I'm impressed by how good it looks ! I'd love to see some 3D prints that come out of it !

    Having recently gotten my first 3d printer I find this fascinating. I love the idea of using old parts live CD/DVD drives to build a rudimentary 3d printer and then to use it to make parts to build a larger and better 3d printer.

    Very good. I have one question for you Since the 3D pen is mounted vertically, why did you feel that you had to shorten it? Couldn't you just brace it against the cd case? Maybe I missed something, but I have always felt that the old engineers rule of, "If it's not broke, don't fix it." is a big time, effort, money and trouble saver.

      I'm pretty sure that I set my pen to the hottest temperature you can. It also depends on what kind of filament and build your pen is though. When I used maker cam I set the feed rate to 50 and set my pen to its lowest speed. I hope this helped
