SeeMeCNC – $999 Improved 3D Printer and $7499 laser cutter

Rostock MAX’s Cheapskate design uses t-slot aluminum extrusion as not only the structural member, but also the linear bearing surface. To keep the bearings from wearing the aluminum’s surface we CNC machine acetal bearing covers. The extruder is our own proven workhorse, the “Steve’s Extruder”, that uses push to connect fittings for a bowden extruder setup fed down to our reliable hot-end design that comes set up for 1.75mm filament. The hot-end platform as well as the Delta arms are all made from incredibly strong, lightweight injection molded reinforced plastic. The same material is also used in the extruder body to keep everything super strong and light. The wood kit’s laser cut framework uses a new material introduced to 3D printers by us, melamine laminate. It’s easier to work with, and more durable than other laser cut plywoods that are popular. The laser cut parts speed up assembly of the printer and help key the major parts together while you install the hardware. The extruder features an integrated spool holder designed for 1lb. or 2.2lb (1kg.) spools.
