Overview

Description

In my 4th engineering year at HIAST, I designed and built a custom 3D printer from scratch, combining mechanical design, custom electronics (PCBs and control board), and full software. I integrated hardware and firmware for motors, heaters, and sensors, delivering a fully functional prototype.
