MegaMax 3D printer at Milwaukee Makerspace

This is my 3D printer project that I'm building at the Milwaukee Makerspace.

Most of the parts came from recycled industrial machines and a local scrap dealer. Build envelope will be about 1 cuft when finished. My goal is to process dicom files from CT scans into STL files and use them to print life-size human skulls (among many other things).

I am also building amother printer for the Makerspace using parts from a scrapped machine with an even larger build envelope.

I can't wait til this thing is printing!

How's it coming Dave? Will we see it this Sunday perhaps?

Got sidelined by my wife moving out from Ca., then buying a house, then moving into that house, then car shopping for the wifey, then entertaining family at the house for Xmas. Started back to work on the printer this week though and have made a schedule to have it printing by the end of this month.

I bolted 20, 0.5 Ohm, 1%, 25W resistors to the aluminum plate I will be using for a print-bed and will test it to check the temperature it can achieve this week. All I really need to do is bolt that plate to the Y-axis slide/bushings, then mount the extruder, and wire it all together.

Is there something special happening this Sunday?
