 Welcome to 3D Printheads!!! Minimize

We are very excited to start this site!  What is it about???  Simply the greatest garage innovation in the last 10 years, a complete 3d printer / milling machine combo for under $2500!!!!  Much, much cheaper if you already own a CNC Mill! 

New Flash!  We are depositing material out of the printhead.  It looks a lot like Fab@Home, but not near as controlled, yet.  It will take some experimenting to get this exactly right.  Thank you Art with ArtSoft for taking extra time to modify a Mach3 driver for my particular spindle. 

Next Target Milestone - A "clean" print by 8/1/2007.  Note, I am updating some of the content of this site.  Check out the cool new ideas forum to get your creative juices flowing. 

  AND   OR

If you already own a CNC milling machine, you are in luck!  This site explores how to add 3D Print functionality to the milling machine you already own for minimal costs!  Additive and subtractive processes in your home shop!  Note: I have been asked several times if I am "selling" printheads and the answer is no, I am just trying to have fun and share knowledge with others.

Reality Check - Here is what we have.  We have a working printhead that deposits material and we are experimenting with speeds and feeds and materials...  See the picture gallery for more pictures and the Wiki Entry for more description.

Most people with a mill should be able to add 3D print using this site within a week or two!!!

Check out the Wiki.  Here is the current planned site map for 3dprinthead.com:

I can't help playing around with Internet gadget things while I wait for my CNC jobs to complete, so here are a few:
