The $60 DIY 3D Printer
One Instructables maker has shared his process for creating a 3D printer constructed of recycled electronic components. Using up to 80% used and recycled parts, shareware, and easily accessed and produced parts, you can produce your own small-footprint, EWaste $60 3D Printer. All of the steps are laid out clearly, including where to learn about CNC processes for beginners, in the Instructables design. Check out more details: http://3dprint.com/23080/instructabl...ld-3d-printer/
Below is a look at a completed EWaste 3D printer. Let us know if you have attempted to follow the Instructable for this affordable device. I would be interesting to see how well you can get it to print.

lol I threw a load of floppy drives away a few years back. But i suspect there are still a few in my workshop.
That is one tiny print volume though :-)

The stepper motors are part of the CDrom drive mechanism that it is made out of. You can see one of hte steppers in the left image at the top with a brass bar coming out of it.
