This is a RepRap-based Ramps 1.4 FDM 3D Printer that runs Marlin and Klipper. This is capable of producing high quality 3D prints (and in near future, multicolor too :) if I get more funds).
First of all, the 3D design needs to be sliced in a software like Cura to adjust density, speed of printing, etc. Second, it is connected to my computer using OctoPrint/Pronterface. I load the GCODE file into the software, and then the printer does it’s magic.
I have been working on this for the past 6-months and I’ve rebuilt it for the 3rd time. This is a part of the 3-years long research that I’ve been doing on FDM Systems.

This project is officially complete. This is not something that takes just 6 hours to build. I have been building this for the past 6 months and built over 4 different versions

Sick dude! Love the dedication. I’m curious–how did you make the moving head?

I used a stepper motor and attached a GT2 Pulley and Belt to it

So I have attached all of the wires. Now I just need to add the bed and level it

I disassembled the printer is was not sturdy and wires were unorganized. Now I am building a more sophisticated version

Replaced the old Arduino, Ramps 1.4 board and the broken hotend thermistor

I increased the adhesion and attached the bed to the wooden surface to level the bed
