Big props for your contribution to this project, making the cnc parts available as a kit is a great step forward for the project making it way accessible to others. Very well done
*Just some improvement ideas* One cool and easy way to make it lighter and portable is by using an external 140W USB C adapter, possibly GaN adapters because they are lighter and more efficient. Most people carry one for their laptops and phone anyway so this would save them some weight. 140W may not be enough to heat up the bed super quick but once it is up to the required temp, 140W should be enough to hold the temp. Maybe a detachable foam cover could be placed on the bed to trap some heat and reduce power usage.
He stated in his discord server, that he god a job in a 3D printer manufacturer company, but he had to sign a non-competence agreement, which disallowed him to develop Positron project himself, but the community got on to it
A possible solution would be using polycarbonate instead of cnc parts. Polycarbonate can withstand 100c without any decrease in stiffness. As well as, being quite affordable and a lot lighter.
Cut sheet aluminum/steel would also be good alternatives for getting price down. Milling is the last option you should be looking at if you want to scale a product.
I've always been a bit confused by the Positron project, I want to like the idea, but it doesn't seem to do... well... anything. The main idea seems to be to create a portable printer right, but teardown seems very finicky and it 'folds' into a bit of a mess, has wires and steppers sticking out everywhere, with may steps to accomplish setup/teardown, and I have no faith the z axis works reliably after teardown/setup. It seems like you can just take a small bedslinger, and it will be better in every way to this thing, even portability is very similar (just remove z axis, like how slingers ship)
The printer is designed to be compact and light weight for easy travel. Other printers are not designed to fold. Sure you could disassemble a bed slinger but it wouldn’t be as easy as un screwing to thumb screws. The z axis is very reliable. Many people who have build this printer have used it for travel and had no problems with its reliability. Many printers have cable sleeves to connect the electronics to the main board. The stepper motors are also within the base of the printer.
The main benefit or use case seems to be travel, it would be hard to find a 3d printer that could be brought on a plane and to a remote location and be able to print no matter where
I agree. Good for the industry, but I think everyone loves the novelty. I haven’t had the need to print on a plane or car. And I would rather not lose my Precheck due to a misunderstanding with this very suspicious looking device 😂
@@raiden72 I don't have the room or need for a full sized printer anymore since I don't do as much printing as I used to. I've been dreaming of a portable printer since I got into the hobby, but only just started seriously looking into it now that I've moved into a smaller space. This will solve all my problems by letting me have it out for the few days I need it for whatever projects I'm working on, then chuck it under my bed when I'm done. The cool factor can't be denied, either ;) will definitely have this set up and folded out for no reason when friends are over LOL
One issue I see with printing upside down is bridging and overhangs. Instead of drooping down, usupported material droops "up" potentially catching on the nozzle on the next layer. Do you have to adjust your design and slicing for this printer, or is this a non-issue?
I really want one of these, but I don’t really trust myself to build it myself. I would absolutely pay extra to have a fully assembled version to buy online.
That bed holder fork part looks like it could be made out of wood for almost no cost. Just a couple sticks and some flat pieces glued across the grain to join them together. May need bulked up a bit for stiffness, but I see no issues with that. The tower would probably be fine in wood too.
NGL I was expecting the PCBway segue after the CNC machining cost mention This is an incredible project though mate, I’m tempted to look at tech like this for my capstone after you mentioning it Great work
In the video you cite the JourneyMaker as being more accessible than other versions of the Positron, however the LT heavily pulls from marketplaces such as aliexpress and uses 3d printed parts, your JourneyMaker variant relies on purchasing CNC'd and other custom parts from your store. This seems like a step backwards from what the LT team has done with the original Positron V3, in moving away from custom fabrication, and towards easily sourcable/printable components. Do you have a justification for this decision?
By providing readily available custom parts, we simplify the build compared to the LT, which requires cutting makerbeams. Ultimately, this approach aims to make the Positron more accessible to a wider audience
Yes! Have a low centre of gravity allows the printer to be light weight, thus removing the need for a heavy frame to reduce vibrations. It also allows the printer to achieve faster speeds. I bet we will see more upside down printers in the future
@@mcfazio4283 but since vibrations arent an issue with rigid frame structures why should we limit the size of our printer? It seems like a great experiment, but for people hunting for quality on a budget but also have big parts theyd be left out
how hard is it to source the need parts to build one? if i could get most of the parts i can managed to make the cnc parts with what i have but id love to try one.

Question is, why? What's better than for example the brand new Ender 3 V3 CoreXZ ? Like, does the price justify the mean? Seems overpriced for just portability.
@@_..-.._..-.._ I do agree, but that’s also why it’s being built by a community rather than a company, because it is in essence for a niche demographic, therefore a company has nothing to gain producing it where as a community of the exact people who make that niche do
What is this weird comparison? An ender 3 and this printer fill entirely different niches. This is like asking someone why they'd buy a smart car instead of a truck.
The revision to the magnet connection does, on the outside, seem better but I have a feeling that it will create further issues in the future. That's quite a lot of resistance on the connector and a small window of opportunity for the pcb connection coming off the plate to perfectly align and slide into the opposing connection. On top of that I'd imagine a press fit / tension connector like that likely can't withstand tons of repeated removal and insertion. I'd weigh your options and continue to look around and find something that may be a bit more accessible and easily repairable / replaceable. Personally using some sort of ribbon style pcb(s) with magnetic connections may be a good route to look into. A lot of keyboard designers have implemented this into their cases to connect the pcb to the usb-c port.

I think printing upside down is a cool idea. But other than making the machine more portable, I cant see why printing upside down would be more beneficial compared to a traditional core XY or bed slinger. If it improves print quality, print speed or eliminates the need for support then I can see the appeal. But it doesnt which is why I see this more like a gimmick and less as a viable option for day to day 3d printing, still a cool idea tho.
Well it improves bridging. A dialed in printer can do good bridging. But supporting the extending strand with the nozzle against gravity is a definite bonus. Once dialed in it'd probably be the best. But yeah, I think portability is the selling point. Having the lower center of gravity for the extruder and head means way less vibrational forces and artifacts. Would be kinda interested in an upside down coreXY now XD
@@Titan-un3zu yeah. It's rare the manufacturing mechanics allow it. The only other super common places motion systems tend to be bottom mounted are laser-based resin (formlabs) and CNCs. Obviously bridging isn't a thing there tho, but center of gravity matters
I really like this printer i saw the original design when it came out and this version looks even better. One question, what does a failed print look like. Im usually not too far away from ny current printer when I'm making things but wanted to know what happens with this printer if there's a failed layer. Also how does bridging/ support material work?
Fails just like any other printer might. Supports also function just as any other print. Over handing is actually better. Check out our discord to see some peoples printing results
@@mcfazio4283 What happens if say a belt slips or for whatever reason it starts printing in mid air? On an right side up printer the plastic will either drop down or start blobbing onto the printhead.

I love seeing all the Positron variants pop up on CZcams. I do have a question: Is anyone in the community working on a Positron Mini? I feel like it would be possible and very helpful for makers with very small spaces.
The Y axis needs 2 rails otherwise the performance will take a huge hit. With 2 rails it should print at least 2-4x faster. Right now it's resting on a single rail with the toolhead swinging around on a 8mm or 10mm wide track. Jm2c.
I mean more rails will always improve performance (assuming you can get them to line up exactly), but there's plenty of single rail systems, like annex k3, which has no issue with speed. Could you explain why this is more relevant in this case?
@@hd-be7di right. And in this case the rail is fixed to the frame itself. So I'm not sure why it'd be any more wobbly. Unless your using some shitty rails
Sounds like an interesting idea. Might be a little hard to fit a second rail in there with how compact it is. The CAD is available on GitHub, I encourage you to give it try. Could be pretty cool.
Do you have any idea how well hiwin-style linear rails work? They’re extremely accurate and can probably hold 1000 times the load that this project is capable of doing. The carriages and rails are also extremely heavy. Two rails would be pointless and offer no benefit. There’s a limit to how fast FDM printers can print before the time savings just isn’t worth the violence of the accelerations and wear and tear and poor performance.
720 isn’t that bad, kiddo. You just have too high standards for free content. Go watch cartoons on a 1980’s tv with static and 120p and get back to us.
Nice gimmick but absolutely useless. Too small, too imprecise. If there is no liability, the catastrophe is complete. Nobody needs a 3D printer to transport. Simply print at home and take the printed part with you. Pointless...
Guess we all know what not to get you for your birthday 😂 it’s not for you, you’re not the demographic. That’s ok. Neither your use case or the project are wrong in their aims or opinions.
I take my Voron v0 and micron to work with me sometimes when I’m working on projects since I can just remove my printed parts and start the next print at work and could knock out an additional 5-8 prints while working. Good to know you think this is useless cause that just frees up parts for me.

If the size of the CNC parts is below 10X10CM. you could use JLCBPCB/PCBWAY to produce them
using PCB is cheaper than using other CNC parts.
