Prototype Quick-Build, Low-Cost 3D Printer

Printrbot, just successfully crowd-funded by Lincoln, California resident Brook Drumm, bills itself as an all-in-one 3D printer kit that “can be assembled and printing in a couple of hours.”  Hack a Day’s Brian Benchoff gives a cogent technical analysis.  Apart from the Kickstarter itself, Mr. Drumm maintains a Flickr set, a Vimeo account, and a fledgling blog dedicated to the project.

  1. The link to HackADay’s broken. Needs the blog.makezine.com/taken out.

  2. I can see a lot of things in the Printbot that have come from open source projects. Will the Printbot be open sourced?

      They’ve indicated that it will all be released very soon. It is still in very active development so they’ve been hesitant to release the design files until they’ve firmed everything up.
