The diploma thesis addresses the construction of a 3D printer with regard to the price-to-quality ratio. The result is a high-quality 3D printer whose construction is also cost-effective. This printer enables home printing with various filaments and can also be upgraded.

Solution and Method

The diploma thesis addresses the construction of a 3D printer with regard to the price-to-quality ratio. The process of construction and the parts used are described, along with an explanation of how individual components were used in assembling the printer. The purpose of the work is to demonstrate that a 3D printer can be built independently.

Such a printer is also more cost-effective and offers more upgrade options. The advent of 3D printing has influenced all aspects of industry as well as modern society as a whole. 3D printing is the process of printing materials from which a physical, tangible object is created that can be measured in volume, making it three-dimensional.

Printing can be done with diverse materials, ranging from plastics to metals. The technology is becoming increasingly established, as the manufacturing process produces no waste material and is more environmentally friendly compared to traditional manufacturing methods such as turning. More and more applications are also being discovered in many sectors, such as medicine, the food industry, the aerospace industry, etc.

The author of the diploma thesis focused on common questions such as: "is it possible to build a 3D printer cost-effectively and is it possible to print improvements and use them on the 3D printer?". The work begins with an introduction to 3D printing; emphasis is placed on 3D printing and the purpose of 3D-printed objects. This is followed by the history of 3D printer development.

This will help in defining the field and the improvements that have already been implemented or used on 3D printers over time. The history of 3D printing technology is also presented. 3D printers are then presented in general: types of 3D printers are described, differences in construction, differences in intended use, materials or filaments that can be printed with, and finally the weaknesses and advantages of 3D printing are presented.

The fields and future of 3D printing in various sectors are also described. On the basis of all the information gathered and the technical design, the construction of the 3D printer can then be undertaken. The components included in the 3D printer will be described, an explanation will be given as to why they were purchased, and their technical specifications will be stated.

The construction process will be written in steps that were set for easier and more efficient assembly of the 3D printer. After building the printer, the printing of a product and possible improvements for the resulting printer will be presented.

Results

The result is a high-quality 3D printer whose construction is also cost-effective. This printer enables home printing with various filaments and can also be upgraded.
