DIY a 3D Printer: A Journey of Innovation 2025-06-02 What?! Is this self-made? Mechatronics enthusiasts, have DIYed a 3D printer! The Robotics Association, a college’s “ace club”, has nurtured several “national champions”. Recently, the club accomplished another impressive feat – they built a 3D printer! ↑ The “main character” this time is Pang Yonghe from the Industrial Robot Class 1331. He led a six-member team to create this “artifact”. ↑ He and his teammates Although 3D printers are all the rage on the market, they often come with a hefty price tag. Why not use your professional knowledge and make one yourself? Let’s get started! From researching the principles to finally printing the first product, it was done in one go! Classes during the day left only the night for work, taking a month and a half to complete! Most hardware materials were purchased from Taobao, and some open-source software and tutorials were shared from forums. The total cost of making this machine was 2000 yuan, while similar products on Taobao range from simple to luxurious. Just feel the difference… Control board, stepper motor, linear bearings, extrusion mechanism, feeding mechanism; 3D modeling, microcontroller, three-arm parallel structure, stepper motor drive @#￥%… Do you feel the brilliance? ↑ Now, the 3D printer has successfully printed Baymax, a globe, and is currently printing a three-dimensional logo sign for a newspaper. → Baymax “modeling” image The work “Globe”, each similar piece takes four to five hours to print, ensuring quality. Pang Yonghe and his teammates are currently undergoing intensive training to prepare for this year’s National Vocational College Skills Competition. The innovation, practice, and ability to draw parallels and make inferences required to build a 3D printer are essential “killer skills” for winning the national competition.
