A project log for Cheap and Easy to Build 3D Printer

A budget 3D printer that is easy to build with basic tools. A closed loop system using optical mice is to be used for greater accuracy.

Wow, this was super fast. I just ordered this stuff three days ago (late in the evening), and this morning the postman was knocking on my door with a parcel in his hands... Could not believe it!

Now I can start prototyping. Time to roll up the sleeves and get to work.

I have to say that I am a bit disappointed with the omni wheels, the plastic rollers don't seem to exert a lot of traction. Luckily I can fully control the surface that they will be adhering to. But it also needs to be good for the optical sensor in the mice.
