Concept of modular 3D printer construction

[摘要] The current situation on a field of 3D print does not allow significant changes in the printer's construction. 3D printer's build area is often a limiting factor. The goal of this project is the design of a modular construction of a 3D printer. In the future, that would mean, that after purchase and after query for increasing build area, it would be necessary just to connect another unified block. All the changes could allow rapid modification of the printer's properties without increasing cost or rebuilding construction. As a result, it was able to develop a construction that is able to expand the build area at one axis. It is able to expand the build area with almost no limit in one direction.
