Work on the Gemini 3D Printer was on hold for a few months while I used it’s cart as a temporary plant nursery for my garden.
I created a few quick parts to get the bed mounted to the Z axis and get the machine up and running for some testing.
There have been a few print quality issues but they look to be mostly software tuneable items thus far. The machine has been able to print in both ABS and PLA.

Overall, I’m not as enthused with the final assembly of the prototype as I would hope to be – although I am excited to have the unit working so I can properly test the design out.
I believe I could make the machine more compact, easier to assemble and maintain, sturdier and still reach the basic print volume I am aiming for of 300mm X 300mm x 300mm+.
Partial artistic concept for revision 3.2.0
A quick bit of Sketchup work yesterday fleshed out how a rebuild of the rear of the printer could take shape.
