Design

The design of the 3D silicone printer consists of 3 main components: 3D printer base, silicone extruder and pump system. Each component have their subsections in this documentation. First, we will start with selecting our 3D printer base. We will provide 3D printer base options with the shopping links so that you guys can check them out. Later, we will teach you how to create the parts for the silicone extruder and how to assemble it. Lastly, we will finalize with pump and cartridge selection. If you are familiar with 3D printers and how they work, this project will be very easy to complete for you.

Here is the representation of the 3 main components of this project:

Let's start making our first 3D silicone printer!!!!
