Hello all. Brand new here and to the 3d printing world.. Yes, i have owned a davinci jr1.0 printer that required propritery filament and software, i LOVED that printer, but those days are over. I now have a cr10. I have learned ALOT about 3d printers with this thing, but its time to enhance it a little bit more. I am a mechanical/areospace engineering student and have limited money but i want to build a 3d printer. My reasons for this are becuase when i build, i learn, i take notes, i document. its a BIG process for me. I am here to hopefully get some questions answered. First question. Is there a full blown tutorial somewheres, that shows how to build the box frame, all the parts needed(im in the USA) and how to put the prusa i3 box frame printer together? i have searched through the reprap pages and alot of the links are dead, so im kind of stuck. ok, second question. IF the prusa i3 boxframe is to expensive or crazy to complete, is there a decent DIY $200 or so kit that has all the parts, requires some 3d printed parts, and performs decent. i dont need a production printer. it just needs to print nice quality but not prototype or anything. im open to a good DIY kit or if the box frame prusa i3 works out, that is great as well. thanks https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,859615,859615#msg-859615 Fri, 04 Sep 2026 16:45:35 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,859615,861423#msg-861423 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,859615,861423#msg-861423 My Instructable using either a plywood or alloy frame:

full blown? no, you need to think for yourself. But there are instructions,
Manual

And some pictures [github.com]

But this really is a old obsolete design. I would not recommend this in this day and age..]]> Dust Reprappers Mon, 23 Sep 2019 04:00:43 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,859615,859706#msg-859706 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?4,859615,859706#msg-859706
your probably to young to remember....

The Prusa box frame i3 was a for runner to modern Prusa machines that used wood vs an aluminium sheet.
