DIY Metal Printing Pipeline
Metal 3D printing for under €500.
A self-developed metal additive pipeline built from repurposed machines: a bread maker mixes metal powder with binder, a direct-drive auger extruder on a converted Anycubic i3 Mega prints green parts while a second PLA hotend prints burn-away supports, and a vacuum furnace handles debinding and sintering.
Target materials: bronze, stainless steel, copper, and ceramics. Total pipeline cost: under €500.
