Abstract: The initial phase of this project established the foundational architecture for a custom Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printer. We have centered on the kinematic analysis and structural design of a Core XY-style Cartesian frame, utilizing CAD software to simulate assembly tolerances and motion constraints. A comprehensive Bill of Materials (BOM) was generated, prioritizing standardized off-the-shelf components like the 2020 aluminum extrusion ecosystem and open-source electronics, effectively solving the challenge of high entry costs associated with commercial additive manufacturing systems. The project addresses the physical fabrication, systems integration, and calibration of the prototype. This involves the precision assembly of the mechanical gantry, installation of the linear motion system using 8mm smooth rods and LM8UU bearings, and the complex wiring of the electronic control loop. A critical part of this phase is the configuration of the Marlin Firmware, where parameters such as acceleration limits, thermal runaway protection, and steps-per-mm will be tuned to match the hardware specifications. The integration process also covers the setup of the heated bed assembly and the installation of a dual-fan cooling system to ensure reliable material deposition. This project aims to demonstrate the feasibility of constructing a high-precision rapid prototyping machine using open-source hardware. The successful completion of project will result in a fully functional 3D printer capable of producing dimensionally accurate parts, validating the design choices. The final prototype will serve as a cost-effective platform for future research into additive manufacturing parameters and material properties.
