    "... cheaper than a complicated LEGO kit".
    That got me thinking... Would it be possible to make a 3D printer out of LEGO?
    Like as a proof of concept more than anything

    • @C2H5OHist
      @C2H5OHist Před 7 lety +32

      Sure. You could even make it a cannibal, melting its kind for filament :)

      AlfonsoB LEGO is too expensive to cannibalise
      I'd rather buy the cheap knockoffs for that :P

      some trivia : lego engineers that experiment with making kits don't bother taking them apart, they dump it in the black bricks melting machine.

      LEGO is also too expensive to use as stock too. But that fact did not seem to phase you.

    • @joinn1710
      @joinn1710 Před 7 lety +1

      Lagger Onesixfour do you have a 3d printer?
      Then you know why it didn't.
      Except if you thought he had taken it off before the video, which is the most logical answer.
      I will show myself the door.

    • @MakersMuse

    Thank you for the review! It's actually nice to know that a sub $100 printer is possible, though probably not a good thing. Favorite moment was at 8:40 "The whole thing wobbles"...including your table, camera, and shelves.

    @jameshunter8041 Před 5 lety +2

    I am 11 years old and i have had one of these for 1 1/2 years now and everything that he said was true. i just threw it out and got an ender 3 and i wish that i had not spent the money on it. for me it was 140 NZD and I feel like i have been ripped off from ebay sellers from that :(
    anyway, great video and everything that he said is very true and there was no exaggeration

  • @JANDLWOODWORKING
    @JANDLWOODWORKING Před 7 lety

    Hey Angus I finely received my 101 Hero!! it cam in yesterday. Built it in 45 min and its been printing perfect works on the card and hooked into Repetier-Host really well. I just want to let you know that all of them are not lemons.... Love your videos Keep up the great work... Thanks

  • @MasterBo39
    @MasterBo39 Před 7 lety +6

    The wobble in the frame can be reduced very simply, several ways. Use some single strand wire to x brace the top half of the 3 pillars. Leave the bottom half open for access. Or, glue or add a printed c channel to facing edges of the pylons and then insert panels. Clear plastic faced sides would look best. Also, containment of the actual build space, with a removable panel or door would retain heat and improve quality as well. The simplest way...DUCK TAPE. Wrap as much of it as you dare carefully, with an eye to removing the wobble, and prepare to be amazed...Likely the ugliest, but should work surprisingly. Actually, corrugated cardboard panels on at least 2 and a half sides, taped in place would likely work most cheaply. . . Bo.

    Bought it for basically the same reason, just wanted to see what was accomplished in a low price point - mine has been unable to fully level but haven't had a ton of time - only reason to get it was really a look at what one can get! Plan on giving it to my cousin's kids once I dial it in a little better so thanks for the tips on improvements!

    • @MakersMuse
      @MakersMuse  Před 7 lety +1

    considering the heating bed - it can be made here very easily with car parts - like anti-frost heating elements for windows, which very accessible, i even found in Auchan supermarket a special "conductive glue" for repair anti-frost heater if metal string cuts, you can repair there almost 2 cm cuts

  • @ChrisHarmon1
    @ChrisHarmon1 Před 6 lety

    For those wondering hardware of this caliber can become a great printer. I would suggest the rubber bands of course(even production Delta's use similar devices) to tension the mechanics. The biggest issue I see is the frame. I'm sure people will be making plastic upgrades available on thingiverse ect but you could also pickup some 1/8" x 2" angled aluminum from Home Depot/Lowe's for those of you in the US. From there each "tower" can be stiffened with some aluminum or steel plating from the same source. I know many who have used these same steppers for lightweight direct extruders with great success but the 3 tower steppers should eventually be replaced with larger/faster steppers for $8-10 each.

    Can you make a video for noobs? I have an engineering background and have a ton of drawing/3d modeling experience. I am interested in 3d printing and know nothing about it.
    Can it talk about materials, min/max limitations, framework, controls, interface, software, file types, print quality (how it's measured), equipment costs, material costs, support/communities, accuracy, and precision? Please also discuss setup, operation, and tweaking.

    @emilyinder Před 7 lety

    it shipped to me for 70$ . it's lots of work to actually make it work . but I always enjoyed working with cheap hardware and try to learn .
    I connected to my raspberry pi using octaprint and mounted a camera . now I can see it working on my phone . I tried few diffrent pla like wood and bronze . it actually print very well at speed of 15. since it doesn't hsve a auto leveling it is really hard to level . To counter that in octaprint you can create own custom control using gcode command and move it to diffrent directions and then try to see distance from platform . add a brim for flat surface and raft
    for uneven one. older versions of like 15.2 works well . add some oil to rods to make it run smoother . make sure to clean those rods as well or it make the black thingy (I don't know what to call it ) will go off the pully. before changing to new filament heat it 200c not then stop the printer and take out the filament or it will stuck inside . nobody is getting sd cards with it you have to buy your own or use octaprint and pi. good luck

    Just got my 101hero today. I knew it was going to be crap from the start but i figured it would be ok to use and rebuild a new one with. Any suggestions on parts to buy towards making this product better? I don't even plan on using the motors that come with it as I've seen some people saying they are lighting on fire.
    I do plan on getting the MP mini select in a few weeks as I've heard some good things about it.

  • @elerileigh7926
    @elerileigh7926 Před 7 lety

    so if you were to decide to take the time tighten up the wobble, and sturdy the base, what things would you tweek to get it to be feasible? the reason I ask is because I have always taken the cheaper versions and made them better from computers to tools, I know how to do what a person would, but I don't want to order it without knowing what I'm getting myself into, because sadly even for me there is a point at which it's not worth it,

  • @NerdyGeeky

    The first I thought when I saw the cat model was "looks like a 3D-pen quality model"..and then I found out why. Honestly, I really want a 3D printer but I doubt I'll go below around £300. But that's still a ways off for me.
    Great videos though and really thorough!

  • @DwightWilbanks
    @DwightWilbanks Před 7 lety

    at 8:40, you mention that because it's made out of plastic, the whole thing wobbles insanely.
    It would seem to me that simply wrapping some string, diagonally from top to bottom should dramatically tighten that up. Put 12 screws into the pylons, then attach the 6 strings to the screws. You could also use something more sturdy (which would defeat the purpose on a low cost item). String will only help in one direction while a metal post would prevent motion in both direction. As long as you have strings in all of the support diagonals, you only need to deal with stress from one direction.

    Fisher technic has a 3D printer. it's available here in Germany for 514,95€ and therefore really expensive. but since it's highly modular. the build volume can be expanded easily.
    I don't think about getting the 101hero. I am currently looking at the Cetus3D when they can ship in February.
    you just mentioned the Anet A8 as a good value product. I will find some reviews if it.

    I ordered the Anet A8 from Gearbest a few months ago, had to dispute the order in the last few days because the item simply hadn't been shipped and I wasn't going to be had again.

    if you print an item like an wasserjet cuter part, would it work? or is the printed item too fragile?

    What you recommend to buy under 200€ on ebay, aliexpress or somewhere else?

    I'm a mechanical engineering student, I like to play around in Inventor, I would like to know if there's a relatively affordable printer out there that has a good print quality, can print complex shapes easily, and works with inventor. Back in the lab on campus they have a really big expensive looking one that prints the stuff and then submerge ms the print in liquid to dissolve anotger plastic it prints for support... Or something. Idk I'm not very knowledgeable about 3d printers, lol
