This course teaches how to build an industrial scale 3D printer with a large build envelope using a pellet extruder. The learning outcomes include understanding the benefits and limitations of using pellets as a feedstock, configuring a motion platform with linear actuators, and customizing the printer components. The course covers topics such as the pellet extruder, Duet 3 microcontroller, extruding pellets, linear motion, frame construction, build plate setup, and bed leveling system. The intended audience for this course is individuals interested in additive manufacturing, DIY 3D printing, and large format printer construction.
