Blackbox is a high-end open-source multitool printer which is highly reliable, precise fast and feature rich. I designed the printer for daily model building, but also for further experiments. Since I have to rework many models, which costs a lot of time and work, it is particularly important for me to be able to produce high-quality prints. Blackbox is the key element of a flexible, autonomous and completely open source small scale production system I've been dreaming about.

40x40 t-slot profiles form the 470x500x550mm (HxWxD) sized frame. The large build volume of 300x300mm can be used with up to five Materials. This is achieved by water-cooled exchangeable tool heads. The tools do not have their own cooling, instead they are cooled passively by the tool bank or the x-axis. While the tools are bowden driven the X-Axis carries one direct driven Extruder for flexible materials. The Z-Axis is based on belts with a 1:10 pulley reduction, compared to ball screws a fast, precise and cheap alternative. To keep the print area warm and chill im using 3mm laser cut acrylic sheets. All Axis are based on linear rails, the Y-Rail is supported by the T-Slot frame while the X-Axis is supported by a lightweight carbon square rod.
