Wally 3D printer

Created a detailed design for an open source hobby level 3D printer. The highlights of this design were the use of a sarrus linkage based mechanism for z-axis movement to move the print bed and a 5 bar linkage mechanism for X-Y planar movement which mounted the extruder. Results: A larger print volume for a small printer foot print and maximum parts were 3D printed hence the printer was inexpensive and easy to manufacture.
