David tells us how he designed his rPrint 3D printer, the printer for pirates!
A university project he has been working on for the last 9 months.
Everything is custom, including the world's lightest weight direct drive extruder head, Sarrus linkage build plate, linear rail guides, and his awesome bubble enclosure.
Not to mention his own custom controller, gcode interpreter, and highly optimised C++ string libraries.

    David is a frickin genius. I'm jealous of his brain.

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robert Peters says:

    I hope you encrypted the wireless, or someone may try to steal build file data sent wireless.

  3. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David Ewing says:

    David stated that there was a Chinese manufacturer for the case. Can you identify the company and/or a link to their website?

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David Ewing says:

    "David" stated that the design would be open source. Can you provide a link?

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Christian Kurzke says:

    Congratulations, great project!¡!!!

    I'm seeing this just now, did you ever sell those?

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Whisky Guzzler says:

    Impressive for one person to build a product like this.

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars warlock970 says:

    I wonder where is David and this beauty. Every since this video came out, I have been waiting for David to release the code or the plans or anything even another video of the printer.

    Why is the motor not connected? And why does the hobbed gear has almost flat teeth?

    The term "capstone" is masonic. It's the term used for laying the high point (top point) on a pyramid They use terminologies like capstone in universities because it's all interconnected with freemasonry, for example when you graduate you wear a "mortarboard" cap or "square board" cap which are also masonic terminologies, western society today is heavily based off it, the education system, even the "court" system. Freemasonry. They don't teach that in school because they don't particularly want you to know and understand how western society truly operates!

    But where does the filament go?

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars MrMamanDon says:

    The standard libs are really fool proof and cover all possible edge cases, plus the fact that they should work fine cross platform makes them heavy, for your specific function you don't need to catch those edge cases or any of that stuff , thus it's really fast.

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars hypercube33 says:

    So why is it 4 years later and we cant buy these???

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chloe Mcholoe says:

    god I want that extruder I WANT TO KNOW MORE

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chuck Patten says:

    Brilliant! 11k for a senior project, wow!!

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars 3D Printing Guru says:

    did this make any progress, or did you just stop the project?

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Electronics and radio says:

    So… what happened to this?

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars DIY Everything says:

    I don't have one hour to watch this video, what does it print? I didn't get it

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Richard Smith says:

    A dual half-wave bridge implies a split rail, is this right?

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jonas Gruska says:

    I guess this never happened…?

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Joshua Norris says:

    Considering you said the parts for this cost over $1000 and you designed it for about $11,000….

    Id say you did that VERY cheap! Think about it, thats like if nintendo only spent a couple grand to design the super-nintendo lol. (Roughly 10x the cost of a unit haha)

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Joshua Norris says:

    Data good! Lol

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars MantisRay861 says:

    Very cool. Haven't watched the whole thing yet, but I'd like to see a removable cover so you can get in there to add filament, clear jams, or work on the bugger.
