Avayanium 3D Printer Introduction

The Avayanium 3D Printer is my attempt at creating a 3D printing platform to start enjoying from this exciting field. Although I was exhorted to purchase an already existing unit, I felt it would be far much more fun to build my own. Following inspiration from a MakerGear's M Series printer, I decided to use those parts which I had available (some ball bearings, ground shafts, lead screws, belts and pulleys) and build the rest.

To build the different parts I utilized my 3 CNC machine, so although this printer did not originate from a pre-existing printer, I still consider it a "reprap" endeavor as it is in essence a CNC machine which came from 3 other CNC machines. A GCC Merwury 25W laser engraver was used to cut 1/4" MDF wood for different tables and supports. A Tormach PCNC 1100 CNC milling machine was used to mill multipe parts from different plastics and aluminum. A Torchmate 2' x 2' CNC Plasma Cutter with Avayan Electronics CNC Mother Board electronics was used to cut some sheet metal and weld a belt tensioning bracket.
