This looks pretty sweet, saw it on Reddit.

Not much of that is 3d printed. Maybe the clamps and transitions, but that is primarily carbon rod which is not printed.

Pretty much. Neat concept but wouldn't call it a 3d printed chassis.

Not at all honestly. Cool brackets but really not that impressive from a diy standpoint. Not [H] enough.

I expected something more along the lines of the enclosure im making for my Mars 3 printer with printed extrusions:

Cool project, but overall, it looks similar to the TT900 that I used a few years ago, except for the corner braces, which seem much more substantial/industrial than TT's method

Me either, but can carbon fiber tubes be printed ?

yes but they wont look like that(weaved)


so this is really just 3d printed brackoots to make a frame?

You can print carbon fiber material, it will not have a carbon fiber pattern, and will not be as strong functionally as real traditional carbon fiber.

Yes. That the redditor 3d printing community then claps like seals to.

bummer..... I had already been thinkin up some cool stuff to do with them, but I would have needed the strength of CF to make them practical... oh well

Gotta send your design to get CF Forged.

Nah, if I can't print it myself, I'll just make do with other stuff
