Hybrid MicroElectronics-Factory 3D Printer

Yesterday I was very glad to see a new research paper published by people of the MIT with a machine very similar to this project. Seems I am not crazy at all.

Paper> Fully 3D-Printed electric motor manufactured via multi-modal, multi-material extrusion

This week I have been assembling the docks for the toolchanger. I have encountered some issues, mainly with the stealth toolchanger coupling mechanism. I had to order new threaded dowel pins and more M5 screws for the profile... will have to wait some days :(. Meanwhile here is a photoshoot>

In the last weeks, I have been printing many parts of the project and working ASAP with the fear of being taken for a full time job. Also designed an enclosure for the printer and shifted the design of the Wire Embedder tool activity for the end. I have also ordered the chemicals for mixing the reactive copper ink.

Yesterday, I designed and printed the DragKnife and PenHolder tool. I used the Springy pen holder for 3D printer by arpruss. Next I hope can design the enclosure and the final tool until then... the Wire Embedder!

From January 2 to January 21, I designed the docks and tools, with the help of the StealthChanger open source project, OpenPnP and cad models available in grabcad.

Starting January 1, I received, assembled and added a temporary enclosure to the Svol SV08 3d Printer.
