Electronics Robotics and Programming
For the past 3 years I’ve used my Prusa MK3S to print a multitude of different parts for various projects. It’s an excellent printer that rarely every breaks down, and when it does Prusa provides great support to get it running quickly again. The printer does have its limitations, however. The build area is only 8.3″x8.3″. Many times I have needed to print parts larger than this footprint. In this post I’m going to discuss a strategy that I use to print objects bigger than the build plate of my printer that
In the process of designing a custom motherboard mounting plate for my liquid cooled computer build, I needed a way to test my design since I didn’t have exact dimensions for the case and getting the final plate cut out of aluminum was going to be time-consuming and relatively expensive. I knew I would need to iterate some of the mounting hole locations, because I couldn’t get perfect measurements .
