3D Printer

I've not posted about this before, but I guess I should have. My home grown DIY 3D printer started out as an expensive pile of random parts that I've been purchasing on an ad-hoc basis since May 2021, but now It looks like this: The Chassis is complete and I made a wooden base with rubber feet so it doesn't scratch the table.  I've mounted the power supply and got most of the mechanical parts connected including the timing belts and timing rods. The little box contains my motherboard which will be mounted soon because I need (ordered) a 90 degree USB type B adapter so I can feed the control cable to the back. Today I have made 4 connectors (one fitted) for the stepper motor drivers to connect them to the motherboard for UART control: The project plan can be found over on  Github
