My 3D Printing saga
Hi Folks,
So for a long time, i wanted to build my own 3d printer. I was so confused where to start, which one to build. Also at the same time i wanted to build a cnc machine too, so i was confused whether to go for both at same time, you know a single machine to do both job.
It took me sometime to convice myself that i may never build it if i kept on thinking about it. So once i got convinced i set to build a 3d printer, but now came the big question, which one to build? an opensource one or should i buy a ready to print machine from market? Confusion .... confusion .... so much confusion.
After long research through countless blogs and youtube videos finally i settled to build a prusa i3, according to me these are the benefits
And so it began. Then i thought should i get it as a kit from one vendor and go ahead. I did that at first, the worst mistake i did so far, going for the cheapest avaialble kit on the market.
But finally i made this a success, so i am starting this multipart blog to tell you my printing saga. Check this page for links to all posts around this below.
Enjoy, please comment, share and subscribe to my youtube channel to support
Thanks for reading :)

After long research through countless blogs and youtube videos finally i settled to build a prusa i3, according to me these are the benefits
- Opensource design
- Easy to assemble
- Easy to get replacement parts
- Easy to improvise with new ideas
- Cheap
