Inside from Master Keith: how to assemble a 3D printer with your own hands for 12,330 rubles

Real projects are born in the garage!

Already, the lazy one does not speak of self-assembly of 3D printers at the lowest, sometimes incredibly low prices. So, as a developer of simple 3D printers in Master Kit, I can show you how to build a home 3D printer for 12K rubles in our time. Gather very quickly in about a week, because without the Chinese stores. Everything is already here in Russia. Not only that something is already in your "garage".
We take the 3D printer MC2 as a basis - it is not very expensive anyway, but still.

The build process will learn from the instructions (available on the website 3d.masterkit.ru )
Here we are talking about components - what and how much it costs.
Specification. I broke it into three parts. Electronics, fasteners and kinematics.

Electronics:
1. Mastertronics control board 1 pc. Price 2500 r
2. Four drivers for MP8825 stepper motors for 580 p. each.
Total all electronics for 4820 rubles.

Fasteners:
Nut M8 DIN934 11 pcs.
Nut M5 DIN934 14 pcs.
Nut M3 DIN934 22 pcs.
SCREW M3x8 DIN912 18 pcs.
SCREW M3x14 DIN912 8 pcs.
SCREW M3x8 DIN965 1 pc.
SCREW M3x20 DIN912 4 pcs.
SCREW DIN912 M3 * 30 8.8 C 1 pc.
M8 washer 4 pcs.
Hairpin M 5x260 4.6 zn DIN 975 2 pcs.
Bolt DIN933 M8 * 160 8.8 C, 3 pcs.
Glass 200 * 150 * 4mm 1 pc.
The entire list costs about 300 p. But most likely all this can be found in the "garage". Therefore, we delete from the estimate.

Kinematics.
1. bearings LM6UU. 8 pieces for 130 rubles = 1040 p.
2. LM8UU bearings. 3 pieces for 120 rubles = 360 p.
3. 6mm polished guides - 4 pcs. 310 rubles = 1240 p.
4. polished guides 8mm - 2 pcs. 370 rubles = 740 p.
5. gear for plastic - 1 piece of 540 rubles.
6. sleeve for a stepper motor - 1 piece of 250 rubles.
Total main parts of kinematics will cost 4170 rubles.
7. stepper motors 17HS8401 4 pieces for 1,100 rubles = 4400 p. Sold in many online stores. You can find even cheaper.
8. The print head is assembled from components :
Fluoropolymer tube TLM0425N-20 = 160 p.
Plus Barrel M626 Nozzle = 230 p.
extruder heated aluminum = 330 p.
Print head MK8 Makerbot 0.4mm = 220 p.
EF03018 ceramic cartridge for heating the extruder = 400 p.
thermistor NTC M51 100K = 100 p.
Total spend on the head - 1440 rubles.
9. Plastic parts - download here . Ask your friends with a 3D printer to print. The total weight is about 250 grams. The cost price will be 350 rubles.
Perhaps everything!

The maximum was 14,830 rubles.
Where else to save. The Mastertronics board is a clone of the very popular Arduino Mega2560. Many already have it. Minus 2500 r.
12330 rubles for a 3D printer!
