Welcome to infill! In-fill the gaps you see in 3D printing with your own printer design. This is your chance to join 50 other hack clubbers in designing your own 3D printer. I’m more or less modelling this based on my experience building Neutrino, which is a compact, portable 3D printer I designed from scratch for under $250 USD.

Here’s how everything is going to work:

1. You design your own 3D printer

Come up with a 3D printer design! If you already have an idea in mind, great! If you don’t, here’s a couple prompts:

  • Solve one thing you’ve always hated in 90% of 3D printers you’ve seen
  • 3D print a new material
  • Add a feature that you’ve always wanted (i.e 4-axis 3D printing, a conveyor belt, etc)
  • Just make something that works a little bit better than what you already have! Nothing wrong with only making a small improvement.

For Neutrino, I wanted to do a couple things:

  1. Make a 3D printer that fits inside a filament box. I thought it was cool as hell.
  2. Design it so that it can be built with ENTIRELY off-the-shelf components. no CNC or laser machines required
  3. Have it be…
