Building a Large Format 3D Printer - Electrical

Dive into the third installment of a comprehensive video series on constructing a large format 3D printer, focusing on the electrical components and setup. Learn about building a professional electrical cabinet, configuring quad gantry leveling, and setting up the necessary circuits for powering and ensuring reliable operation of a massive 4' x 4' (1220 mm x 1220 mm) 3D printer. Explore various bed leveling techniques, including manual, mesh, and gantry leveling, to achieve optimal print surface flatness. Follow along as the presenter demonstrates the printer's potential through an initial test print and gain insights into the complexities of large-scale 3D printing. Covering topics such as Z-axis limit switches, print head connections, panel connectors, auto-squaring, bed heating, probing, and part cooling, this 38-minute tutorial provides a wealth of information for enthusiasts and professionals interested in advanced 3D printing technology.
