Testing my new self-made 3D-printer (video)

[Kaptein QK]

Made with 30x30mm equal angle aluminum profiles and 8mm rods.
The extruder is bought as a kit, can not remember the name.
Steppers: 17 size
Stepper drivers: THB7128
Controller board: Arduino Mega2560
Idlers and holders made on a lathe.
Timing belt is from a T-REX 500 RC helicopter.

Written in AVR GCC, no Arduino IDE where used (it sucks)
PC host written in Java (Processing) (it also sucks )

Source code is attached.

Don't mind the test object!

Awesome!!! Print off a couple and make some coat hooks... or doorknobs... or toiler flusher... or custom handle for an oral irrigator. The possibilities are endless.

I just hope you don't have a 3d scanner as well.

[Kaptein QK]

Haha, no, I found the model on the internet

Nice piece of engineering and though I note your comment regarding the model.....why on earth would you need another penis 

[Kaptein QK]

There is already to many 3D-printed Yoda test objects around!

[Mechatrommer]

why on earth would you need another penis 

you should know why a man need another penis. btw Clone-A-Willy, coupled with 3D scanner as mentioned and the printer, can produce more professional, repeatable realistic and unforgettable gift to folks.

This seems oddly relevant;

Nice! Where did you get those nice timing belts pulleys at 0:34? I want them too

[firewalker]

It seems to be better than Makerbot.

Ebay, as most of the other materials 

The printer can also make other usable things, not just green gentleman bits!   
See this video:

Are these the ones you bought? How much did you pay for them?

No, but they are similar. XL belt, 15 teeth. Can't remember the price, but they where not expensive.
