A nice new 3D Printing sub-forum, so lets all share our setups.

I'll start:

Creality Ender 3

Mods:
SKR 1.3 Mainboard
TMC2209 Stepper Drivers
Custom rear enclosure with Raspberry Pi running Octoprint
BTT TFT35 - Dual mode touchscreen display
Bltouch V3.1
E3D V6 Hotend
Hero Me hot end hozzle with dual 5015 fans
Noctua hot end and enclosure fans
Various 3D Printed mods such as the bed handle and psu fan cover

Used mostly for printing odds and sods, brackets and various little bits and pieces like that. I really enjoy the setup and the tweaking and improvements that can be done though.

Mine right now is just the printer I started with and has sort of evolved into me building a new one. This is the printer I am currently using:

CTC i3 Clone

Mods:

Mk7 Extruder & Hotend
AnyCubic TriGorilla Mainboard
X & Y DRV8825 Drivers, A4988 Drivers on the Rest.
Upgraded the M8 rods to T8 rods
BTT TFT24 - Dual mode Touch Screen
Alloy bed upgrade.
Various 3d printed parts.

It looks ghetto because it is ghetto



I am also currently building a better printer for myself and a quick rundown of parts on that include:

BTT SKR 1.4 Turbo Mainboard
TMC 2209 Stepper Drivers
BTT TFT35 TouchScreen
Titan Aero Clone extruder
bltouch 3.1
3 point bed leveling.
All built out of extrusion.
Not yet finished :)

 
For the time being I'll just add details of the printers currently in the HackShack. Raspberry Pi running OctoPrint controls all 3 FDM and I access the web UI from a google Nexus 10 tab.

First my D-Bot CoreXY (Planning to be made into a CoreXY iDEX)

300x300
AC Keenovo heat bed
Linear rails on X & Y
SKR 1.4 with TMC 2208 drivers
Zesty Nimble extruder
Quality Volcano clone
3D touch
WhamBam flexible build system


Next my Printrbot Metal Plus

250x250
SKR 1.3 with TMC 2208
BMG Clone
Genuine E3D V6
12v 360W 30A PSU


Next Prusa MK2.5s with MMU2s

Genuine Prusa MK2S
After market 2.5s upgrade
Clone MMU2s


And my new resin setup

Elegoo MARS & Anycubic wash & cure

No mods... Yet ;-)
WhamBam slap mat


Printers not in the HackShack

Printrbot Simple Metal
Printrbot LC
Printrbot Simple Makers Edition
Arduino Materia 101
NFire Labs Nfire1 Delta

Coming soon :D
Creality3D CR-6 SE

When we had the loft converted last summer I reconfigured the rooms to give a bit of landing space for my printer setup - here it is on a 1500x750 workbench:-

Tevo Tornado
Upgraded MKS Gen L board with 2208 XYZ drivers abd LV8229 on E
Micro Swiss all metal hot end
Glass bed replaced with Mamorubot build plate - direct solid mount
Genuine BLTouch
Dual Z mod
Frame Braces
Petsfang blower assembly
Control box fans replaced with 80mm ones to keep the noise down
OctoPrint control on RPi4 with Raspi webcam

Oh I feel so 'stock' here....

Prusa MK3S - pretty much stock, just a few custom PSU mounts and the like

CR10S Max - monster printer - delighted with it too. Pretty much stock, but have a whambam hot bed arriving this week (spoilt with the Prusa!)

Both printing through octoprint and webcams to monitor.

Use AI plugin for octoprint to detect and pause if any prints go nuts...!

I'd love a CR10s Max. The Tevo isn't a small printer, but I still find myself wanting to print objects that are bigger than the bed (replica Amiga case for example).
 
Just came across this thread. Really good to see people's 3D Printer setups. I have been considering buying one for a few years now but still not got round to it.

I am not yet convinced I would get enough use out of it to make the expenditure worth while. I like the idea of having one though.

I though the same but over the last two years there have maybe been 6 days where it hasn't been printing anything. Plus you can make some decent money with it - easily pay for itself in a month.

Mine is always printing something as well and I bought it on a whim. Today it is printing this monstrosity:



It's an adapter I designed for use in a fish pond filter.
 
My CR10 and Elegoo mars on day off. This was a while ago, since then the CR10 has had a major facelift.

Dual Z axis, BL Touch, new fireware.

I need to tidy the area up as i backed the CR 6 SE so cant wait for that to arrive

Not sure if you have a hard time reading, but is this thread called "qoute me for 3d printing"?? Want to try rubbing some brain cells together and start your own thread

Get out of bed the wrong side did ya this morning.

I didn't know we had a 3d printing section.
I've read a couple of 3d printing posts. But when you search 3d or 3d printer very few posts came up.

Grab yourself a chill sandwich
 
Here's my little print farm:

C0gnlR5.jpg

This one started out as a Geeetech i3 Pro W. All that is left of that is the steppers that drive the Z axis. This was the first printer I got.
The frame is the AM8 which is a 2040 extrusion frame for the Anet A8.
Specs:
Duet2 Wifi (genuine)
Paneldue 5" (clone)
Bondtech BMG extruder (genuine)
E3D V6 hot end (genuine)
Prusa MK3 heatbed (clone)
HiWin MGN12H rails for X and Z
Inductive probe
250x210x250 build volume
Raspberry Pi3 B+ running OctoPi
Custom optical filament sensor

This one started out as a Geeetech i3 Pro B. All that remains is the power switch and an endstop microswitch.
The frame is again the AM8 which is a 2040 extrusion frame for the Anet A8.
BTT SKR V1.4 Turbo
TMC2209 drivers
TFT35 V3
Bondtech BMG extruder (clone)
E3D V6 hot end (genuine)
Prusa MK3 heatbed (clone)
Clone MGN12H rails for X and Z
BLTouch (genuine)
250x210x200 build volume
Raspberry Pi3 A+ running OctoPi
Custom microswitched filament sensor

And my ground-up build of a BLV MGN Cube with many modifications of my own design.
Custom enclosure designed by me.

Duet2 Wifi (genuine)
Paneldue 5" (genuine)
Bondtech BMG extruder (genuine)
E3D V6 hot end (genuine)
Creality CR10 heatbed
HiWin MGN12H rails for all axis
0.9 degree steppers for X/Y
Inductive probe
Optical endstops
Dual PSUs (24V and 12V+5V)
Neopixel rings that indicate bed temperature, hotend temperature, and printer status.
320x310x365 build volume
Raspberry Pi3 A+ running OctoPi
Custom optical filament sensor

I've censored what the hot end says. You can guess though.

All machines are on their own Tasmota smart switches so I can control power from OctoPi or kill power in the event of a fault.
 
@Rilot Very neat....and yet it still looks maintainable! I recognise the 3-lever (and 5-lever) Wago blocks and I can find that there is a DIN rail holder for those that looks nothing like yours. Presumably you've 3D printed yours so they're at an angle rather than pointing straight up in the air?
There are a multitude of Wago products that fit onto DIN rails (like 216 pages of them!). So I'd be curious to know what model those are if you wouldn't mind sharing?
Also, what are the smaller terminals that you're using for your stepper lines?
Presumably that's a 24V PSU for the printer and a smaller 5V PSU for the Pi or 12V for fans?
Not that I'm trying to do much the same* thing you understand! :D

*same but shoehorning into a much smaller box and with significantly lower standards as a result!
