I have been looking for some time to make a 3d printer but lack of materials like ABS printed pieces or wood cutting habilities..Also knowledge.. sooo I wondered if I could manage to make a small 3d printer to make pieces for a bigger one using Kennex for start. I know I will have to spend some money for motors and an stuff, but try to be as less as possible. To move the motors don't know what to use. I was thinking about using Arduino to mount the motors cause i google it but not sure if it's the best option.
If you have to ask this question, then you don't have nearly the knowledge it would take to make a precision machine like a 3D printer.
Knex won't be stable enough, you'll get shitty prints.

It has been done, It took 3 sec to look it up in a search engine ; https://3dprint.com/11001/mec-nex-3d-printer-k-nex/
I've read something about using stepper motors from old regular printers and stuff like that but the printbed and the hotend are huge issues when you're making a 3d printer yourself from low cost materials. Its also more difficult to calibrate.
So you'll most likely end up with low quality prints either way.

And as we all know, it's impossible to acquire knowledge you don't already have.
When I mean I lack knowledge is in woodwork and in Ardurino, not in how to make it, they are tons of info on that. Thx i didn't remember it was K'nex thought it was just Kennex like that, I know i will get shit prints cause i got a shit to work with, the idea is making something to make a better one. the problem is how hell i'm gona get a UV-resina like the one Coleman uses.. not my in mind making SLA or SLS, not at this point but Chimera seduces me. Anyway.. thx to know someone did a K'nex. First thing is first to get, and is an Arduino it will take like 1 week at least with shipping, so.. any recommendations?

3d print yourself a dildo to choke to death on.
