Camper Printer

[TitusADuxass]

I'm going on holiday soon, 3 weeks camping in Croatia.

3 weeks without a 3D printer, not for this call-sign.

I give you Voron-to-go zero.

Some people might find this a bit sad, but there are times when you need to replace broken plastic items.

That's awesome! Nice camping rig! Looking forward to seeing the trip photos.

CAD to Croatia and on the road repairs!  I like it .

I've been travelling with a 3d printer for the past 4 years. Meet Stumpish (I name all my printers), a belted, very short (300x300x105) Trident. Built specifically to fit in the "basement" storage of my fifth wheel. Since I print almost exclusively in ABS, I added an exhaust system to it. This spring, on a two month trip, I used 3 KG of filament.

We are currently 2 weeks into a 3 month trip. This is Stumpish's sixth trip with us, entertaining me and solving many problems along the way. 

I started traveling with Baby (can't find a picture...), a standard v0.1 back in 2022, but the first failure I had to deal with was too large to print on the 100x100 bed. (I sent the file to my brother, he printed it for me on his 2.4 and FedEx-ed it to me! Thanks, James!) That's when I built Stumpish. We run a generator as we drive, so I can, in theory, print while driving. But no need to do that so far.

@TitusADuxass That's awesome; for people don't know what is it, tell them it is an ice-cream cone maker!

Is that a FIAT Ducato?

I have a 2017 RAM Promaster, bought new, that re-bagged to a FIAT; they are the same van with different engines. Btw the OEM front roof truck lights leaked the 1st year, that's another story, and I made replacement LEDs out of ASA with F360. They replacement ASA housings have not leaked since 2018!

 

Sorry for hi-jacking the tread but that was my 1st ASA project with the Voron 2.4 300x300 (version 1) and it still "working" in real life

@red6rick that's an awesome idea, re-sizing the Trident to fit that space!

Yes it is a Fiat Ducato (Bj 2015), it's git the 3,0l Iveco 180ps motor. We don't have those funny lights over here.

That's exactly mine concern, the v0 bed is a little too small. I do like the Stumpy, I think I may have found another project.

I've camped with one of my Monoprice Mini Delta's a couple of time.  In my 1963 GM PD-4106 ex-Trailways unit.

Don't have a readily available picture of the setup; I used the built-in map table to hold it LOL

But, I do have a picture of my old bus to share...

Yah! The roof lights are to prevent UFO collisions, and they also used to be an interior water feature when it rained. 

My engine is the Pentastar V6 3.6L 276 HP.

@TitusADuxass have a great vacation!

Good deal, now I know I am not the only one who has thought about this.  Right after finishing the 0.2, I had a week long camping trip.  I sooo wanted to bring it with me and just run off parts for my Voron update.   Now that I know this is not uncommon, I am bringing it in September when we go.   I could get so many parts run off and maybe even a few cool brackets and such for the camper.  

This is what we call home when we camp, which is frequently now that I am semi-retired.

What's the overall height of Stumpish?

Did you just reduce the height of the vertical extrusions?

TIA

[red6rick]

The overall height is 455mm.  Pretty much. It was a custom build anyway, since I went to belted instead of lead screws.
