Homemade 3D Printer at work printing a head.

HI, This is my homemade 3D printer at work. This is the head of Walt Disney. It was awesome... and freaky... to see the head being created by the printer. The material is ABS plastic and it took 2h45min to print. There are some imperfections but...hey..this device is a fraction of the cost of the 'big' machines.
The design is based on the makerbot open source project. Kudos to the team!!!
Let me know if you are interested and i will build you one :)

Thanks,
Eddy

ABS plastic

how did you print the chin and nose with no supports?

[Thisshitisfun]

@leokuan The chin was no problem. With the nose there were some saging strands of plastic which a i removed later. Usually, when i print overhangs, the first 2-3 layers of the overhang sag, but eventually it catches up and subsequent layers are fine. It also depends on the printing temperature: if you print to hot, more saging occurs.

You should also make an attachment to put a small drill like a Dremel and make a CNC milling machine. You can also put a pen attachment and make a ploter printer as well. Pretty cool, what was the rough cost of all the parts to produce it?

[firemachima]

you are a genius mr builder !

[djwebix]

How much does the printer cost? How much did the head cost?

wtf! Are you Einstein or something?

Mind boggling someone can be so clever to home build something like this. Good on you!
