![]() ![]() It has flexible system architecture, unusual stable performance and easy maintenance with replaceable components." We designed a very low-cost, single-axis slider with a very high precision. "The single-axis slide (or single-axis robot) is commonly used for high-precision machine tool components or automation devices in the industry, however it has been rarely used in desktop-3D printers because of the high price point. In order to keep costs on the low-end, Bojan designed the hardware such as a single-axis slide that's used to actuate the print head. This is also beneficial for the future reverse logistics process and obviously helps us with our competitive pricing as we can now easily achieve a higher order quantity than regular 3D Printers." Trinus is modular, the 4 main parts are nearly identical with easy and quick assembly (<1hr). “Positioning ourselves in between ‘3D Printer assembly Kits’ and ‘fully-assembled 3D Printers’. “Our 3D Printer is a solid, well manufactured machine, using a lean manufacturing approach to create a new category of printer,” says Bojan Smiljanic, creator of the Trinus. The printer has a 100% metal, modular design, with all parts easily removed or replaced, including a 3D print head and laser engraver head that can be quickly switched out. The Trinus features a build area of 120mm x 125mm x 125mm (4.72″ x 4.92″ x 4.92″), has a print speed of 70mm/sec, move speed of 150mm/sec and can use both ABS and PLA filament. Kodama wants to change those limitations with the Trinus 3D printer, set to hit Kickstarter March 30th (9AM PST) with an early bird price of $199. Getting a 3D printer for that price usually entails assembling it yourself and is, more often than not, limited in the area of print quality. $199 can get you a lot these days–smartphones, single-board computers, robots, a latte. ![]()
