Maximus 3D Printer

Hello
After a Prusa I3 , a Mendelmax 2 , a Vslot Kossel , i decide to build my own 3D printer based on openbuild products,
This 3D printer is fully scalable , so if you need a big printing surface you can build it.
Attention , this work is in progress ...



The Ramps 1,4 board was remove . I prefer the Rambo 1,2d Board.

video of the first movements


First prints are pretty good , on a 7 hours print ... no problem
I'm uploading the first print video on you tube .. stay in touch

My first big print is finished ...


My video is coming , but it is pretty long to upload due to my poor 2MB connection :-(

Video is avalable ... Enjoy


dimensional test ...Done; OK
Overhang test ...done ; OK
Bridge test ... done ; OK
Very Long printing test ...done ; OK

All works fine


I will just add some mods in few day , like an LCD screen , a spool Holder ...

Electronic board is a Rambo 1.2d
