3D printing refers to procedures used to produce a three –dimensional object in which following layers of material are designed under computer control to form an object. The 3D printer kit has the ability to change 3D filament at the time of printing in order to print an object in several colors. 3D printer kit became very prevalent with students and enthusiasts who needs to make a 3D printer. The complete DIY (Do it yourself) 3D printer kit contains the electronics, stepper motors, and a hot end. It can print with 1.75mm PLA filament, and the extreme object build volume is 105 x 105 x 130 mm.
Most 3D printers are based on Arduino. Arduino Materia 101 is the first certified Arduino 3D printer. It uses an Arduino Mega 2560 with a guard exactly made for controlling 3D printers. Arduino Materia 101 is an open-source machine, from the strategy of the mechanics to the electronics and firmware, as all Arduino products.
