This month I built a whole new trash printer! The one that I have been using was intended to be a proof of concept, and now that I know it works, it's time to scale up! Being able to print flower vases is cool, but I want to print whole surfboards!

The new version utilizes the 3D-printable "LowRider2" CNC gantry. It took me about 4 days and $10 worth of filament to print all of the parts I needed to build it, and I spent this months budget on the rest of the parts. Here's the breakdown:

Control Board - $127

Non- Printable Parts (Wheels, belts, etc) - $85

Hardware- $24

Bearings and Motors- $45
