Abstract

This project is a new study about the 3D printer.3D printer is a process of making three-dimensional object from digital file.The reason of this project is doing because of every existing 3D printer have built up volume limited.The purpose of this project is to study the existing 3D printer and its parameter.Then improvise the 3D printer to able to print large object.The 3D printer that will be using is UP PLUS 2 3D printer.There are many changes need to be done to able to print large object such controller of the 3D printer and the platform.There are some researches have been done to study about the 3D printer and apply the knowledge to improve the 3D printer.During the study of the existing 3D printer,there is some problem have been identified and do some improvement to achieve the objective.The method that being use in the project is design development where one of the ways is by morphology chart to get an idea from the chart.Sketches is made from the idea and reverse engineering to obtain cad data.The result will be focusing on the changing the platform by fabricating the parts,make a new controller and test run the printer after done.Before run the printing,all axis is test it movement to it limit and return back to home position.It takes about two minutes to complete the drawing.From the result,all of the objectives have been achieved but there is a limitation.The first limitation is the long base tend to bend went the platform move to the other end due to no support and small area of holding at the frame.The second limitation is some of the wire cannot be connected to the controller because of different male and female connector.
