Ez3D - Phoenix 3D Printer Build

Discussion in '3D printers' started by Jeremy, Jun 24, 2014 at 5:54 PM.

This is my 1st submission to openbuilds.com and my 1st venture into building a 3D Printer. The Phoenix 3d Printer is a kit from Ez3D, a company based out of Colorado, started and backed by successful Kick-starter and IndieGogo campaigns. The Phoenix 3d Printer kit is currently backlogged 10 to 12 weeks which means quite a wait. I will be chronicling my experience with this kit as I get it done.

    Incredibly NICE Jeremy!

    Love your use of belt system for Z axis movement. That greatly reduces width of printer. I have a Fabbster that used a belt system too and was really impressed at the control for .1 and .05 layer heights. Can't make out your drive system for Y axis, but it looks just as sophisticated as the Z axis one.

    Why did you go for linear bearing for X axis instead of v-slot & mini v-wheels.? The sound difference is huge.

    As per the EZ3D host program - the Parts List sounds great. I use multiple printers and remembering to print the box and lid on the same printer (for fit) would really make "Assemblies" nice. Does your iOS mobile app connect via USB, Bluetooth and/or Wireless? I have an Android app from the Play Store that runs my Marlin via whatever the board can handle (USB, Bluetooth and/or Wireless). Does your mobile app require the EZ3D firmware or can it also run vanilla Marlin? Also, I don't see any temp feedback to the client, am I just missing it?
