This course focuses on upgrading a large format 3D printer, including enclosing the build volume with plasma cut sheet metal, utilizing CNC milled components, and incorporating a massive ABS hat. The course addresses challenges such as printing with ABS pellets and offers solutions like active chamber heating, a new pellet vibrator upgrade, closed-loop stepper motors, and CAN expansion boards to enhance printer reliability. The skills taught include installing motors, tuning closed-loop systems, and optimizing printer components. The teaching method involves practical demonstrations and step-by-step instructions. This course is intended for individuals interested in advanced 3D printing technology and improving the performance of large format printers.
