RapMan 3.1 Universal 3D Printer Single Head | RapMan Single Head 3D Printer Kit
Bring your 3D models and CAD drawings to life with the RapMan 3.1 3D printer kit. Build this machine yourself and start creating prototypes, models, RC parts, toys…the list is endless!
BFB 3D printers are based on additive layer manufacturing (ALM) methods. Using thermoplastics, a BFB 3D printer heats the material through the extruder (or print head). The extruder then pushes out a very fine plastic thread which is applied layer by layer according to x and y co-ordinates, building a solid, 3D object.
A perfect machine for students, educators and hobbyists alike
The first cost-effective 3D printer kit on the market
Desktop sized with large print area (up to 270 x 205 x 210mm)
Affordable materials for uninterrupted production.
Reads files directly from SD card - no PC connectivity required

Getting Started
Enjoy building and learning about basic engineering and assembly skills with the RapMan 3.1 3D Printer Kit. It can take between two to three days from opening the box to printing your first parts. The build process is a gentle and enjoyable learning experience on its own, where you learn about many different aspects of engineering without realizing it! The best part is that once you’ve built your RapMan 3.1 3D printer kit, you maintain it, so you don’t have to pay someone else to!
Printing, exploring, designing and developing
Once built and calibrated, the printing fun begins! It’s as easy as one, two, three…
1. Draw your model in your 3D CAD package and export your file to STL format ,
2. Import it into BFB Axon software, process to G Code and save to SD card
3. Insert the SD card into the RapMan 3.1 machine, turn it on and print.
You now have a cost-effective solution which allows you to explore initial design concepts, develop them, and from your findings, turn them into finished objects. It can also be used as a low volume manufacturing tool - the possibilities are endless!
