Designed and integrated a custom FDM 3D printer with differential CoreXY motion, a 4-motor Z gantry, automatic bed leveling, and a controls stack for real-time monitoring and print management.
Designed the printer in Fusion 360 around a motion architecture that prioritized print consistency, stiffness, and reliable positioning across the work envelope.
Implemented bed probing and 3D mesh compensation to correct for thermal warping and improve first-layer consistency.
Integrated display, microcontroller, and Raspberry Pi components for real-time sensor visibility and remote print queue management.
This project highlights electromechanical integration, motion systems thinking, practical controls work, and the ability to connect mechanical design with real machine behavior.
