TOYZY

TOYZY is not just a 3D printer. Its the thing dream of building from the ground up this the project that started only as idea and slowly turned into reality I did not buy kits, I didn’t clone someone else’s design. I wanted to make my own version, fully custom — with a goal to actually understand every nut, bolt, wire, and every line of code that goes into making a 3D printer tick.

The frame is made of aluminum extrusions connected by joints internally so that dont look ugly I modeled and plan to 3D print myself. Inside it runs on an Arduino Mega and RAMPS board with a touchscreen display, (NFC potential and Wi-Fi modules coming soon). It’ll feature a dual Z-motor system for extra stability and acreated compact custom-designed extruder I call it the TOYZY head with three fans, sleek aesthetics, and serious performance. I designed every inch of the printer in Fusion 360 from the frame down to the cable mounts. Also Please Ignore the missing part in The third Image It may Due to a Techincal Glitch And the Aluminium Extrunction going inside the Stands actually Stands will be engraved and modfied as per requirement

Why I Created It

I have always been thinking of a machines that create — CNCs, plotters, robots, 3D printers. But 3D printing stuck with me. I’ve seen people buy off-the-shelf machines and never really learn how they work. I did not wanted that. I wanted to build the machine not to just use it. so that come across the experience many people do lag behind

For me it is more than just a printer It has became a challenge to myself that can I really build something this complex from nothing or can I figure out the mechanical parts the electronics and even the firmware can I make it look cool and functional but not only just work and also feel like mine

The Bucket List Moment

This whole project actually came from a random "bucket list" I wrote for myself one night 2 years ago. I was just thinking about all the things I wanted to do before but never had a will to take on big ideas. One of the things on that list was “Build a full 3D printer from scratch." and coincedencly my mom found the diary in which i wrote to my future self to build a 3D printer

I didn’t expect to actually start this so soon — but once I began designing the frame in Tinkercad (and quickly realized its limits), I downloaded Fusion 360 and went all in. From there it became an obsession. Every part I model or assemble is me crossing off one more item from that list.
