This is pretty incredible. A man named Hans Fouche, out of South Africa, has built his own giant 3D printer based on the Fused Deposition Method. The printer is "garage sized," and can print the entire frame of a RepRap Morgan 3D printer in only 3 pieces. Some of the ground breaking features of this device are as follows:


  • Can print large objects like clothes hangers, lawn mower wheels, etc in one piece
  • Extremely high speed. Can print an entire Lawnmower wheel in under 60 minutes
  • Does not require 3D printer filament. Instead you can through ABS plastic granules into the machine.
  • Print with a nozzle 3mm thick
