Welcome to Project ELysium
Project ELysium is a proposal for building a homemade 3D printer. This project will serve as our 3rd semester IoT-themed project.
Why This Project?
3D printing is an open platform - that means that anyone can build a 3D printer using off-the-shelf components. We estimate that a 3D printer made from scratch will be about 7-10 times cheaper than commercially available models.
Sponsors
We have a variety of materials at the Team dhRuVa workspace - including but not limited to stepper motors and an Arduino Mega. This isn't just a cost-effective solution - its more about how we can efficiently make use of the resources we already have.
Our Unique Selling Propositions
Beyond cost savings, our project can include innovative features such as:
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| 📷 Remote Camera Monitoring | Integrate a camera for real-time monitoring of prints. |
| 🌐 Remote G-code Upload | Easily upload print files remotely for seamless operation. |
| 📱 Remote Status Monitoring | Track the printer's status from anywhere, ensuring peace of mind. |
Inspiration
We want to democratize 3D printing technology by making it accessible to students and enthusiasts. 3d printers cost upwards of 20,000 INR, which is a significant investment for students. Additive manufacturing is a powerful tool for prototyping and creating custom parts, and we believe that everyone should have access to this technology.
