Top 15 Best DIY 3D Printer Kits
Published on May 13, 2021 by Alex M.
Most FDM 3D printers are now sold as Plug & Play models. However, this wasn’t always the case. The origins of these 3D printers trace back to the RepRap project, started by Adrian Bowyer in 2005. This movement still continues today through some 3D printer kits and DIY 3D printer enthusiasts, most notably the Prusa kits. We have already listed the Best Low Cost 3D Printers, but now we have searched for the best DIY 3D printer kits out there. We’ve ranked them from most to least expensive for your convenience!

UNI 2.4.1 kit
Be careful when ordering the kit variant:
1. Table dimension: 250x200 or 300x200
2. Screen holder option: Lerdge or Mini12864
Check out the list of differences from version 2.3 here: Community Forum UNI
Please note that the kit mainly includes printer body parts! Other accessories must be purchased separately.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTION
Parts list
More about set
Using this kit you can assemble a reliable 3D printer in a steel case with a passive thermal chamber, H-BOT/CoreXY kinematics, bowden or direct extruder, print area 300x200mm or 250x200mm in XY and 280mm in Z.
Standard electronics holder allows you to conveniently install Raspberry PI and printer control boards from Lerdge and other manufacturers (for example, SKR 1.4 board)
The highlight of the kit is that you get complete creative freedom to assemble your own version of the UNI steel case printer!
Of course, this requires some perseverance and thirst for knowledge. But it also gives a lot: a self-assembled 3D printer will be completely understandable to you. You will know the principle of its operation and understand why this or that component is needed.
Having gone through all the stages - from assembling the case, setting up the mechanics and connecting the electronics to the first print, you will know the zen of a real 3D printer!
This path is difficult and thorny, at the same time exciting and giving an incomparable feeling of exultation at the first print of YOUR printer.
In addition, the resulting printer will be useful at home, in the workshop or in production.
Benefits of UNI kits:
We understand that it is quite difficult for a beginner to figure out what parts and accessories are needed. Therefore, we have prepared a list of necessary components, as well as ready-made modules to facilitate the assembly of a specific (fixed) printer model.
In addition, there are video tutorials, a forum and chats on social networks to help a beginner, to communicate and solve problems that arise.
A large and friendly community of owners of serial printers and those who have assembled their 3D printers based on UNI is always ready to help beginners and already quite experienced 3D printers.
Software requirements:
As a rule, for self-assembly, open firmware developments (marlin, etc.) are used, but closed ones (Lerdge) can also be used. Thus, compatibility and software requirements will depend on your choice.
Additional information:
Please note that UNI does not provide private lessons or training on how to assemble 3D printers from kits.
All emerging issues are resolved by studying the instructions, video tutorials, communication on the forum, chats, and social networks. Technical support is provided ONLY to customers who have bought ready-made 3D printers.
Due to the lack of an official warranty and technical support, as well as the cost of wages and other production costs, you get your 3D printer much cheaper.
To assemble a 3D printer, you must separately purchase the remaining components - mechanics and electronics, wires, power supply, and more.
Recommended with the kit:
- a set of acrylic panels, or cut them yourself by downloading the necessary files from our cloud (all links are on our forum!)
- UNI heatsink and adapter bushing for standard Direct extruder installation.
Perhaps, with some options for assembling the printer, you will need additional printed parts - you can print them by downloading models from our cloud.
From the UNI 2.
4 kit version there are 2 table platform options to choose from: with print area 300x200 and 250x200 and 2 screen holder options (Lerdge and Mini 12864)
1. When choosing a table with a maximum printable area of 300x200mm, the bar spool can be mounted on the print holder for the rear panel.
2. When choosing a table with a maximum printable area of 250x200 mm, a steel frame of the printing spool holder is added to the kit for installation inside the case.
3. Lerdge screen holder selection assumes use of Lerdge electronics.
4. The Mini12864 shield allows multiple electronics options from SKR to RepRap.
ATTENTION!
To build a direct extruder you need:
1. X-axis steel beam from the UNI 2.4.1 set (ALWAYS IN THE KIT)
2. Direct extruder kit from UNI 2.4.1 (ALWAYS IN THE KIT)
3. Radiator UNI
4. Radiator adapter sleeve
5. Extruder BMG
6. Printed parts: belt clip, model blower, spacer and BLK board cover (download for printing in the cloud)
7.

The B&R 3D project is growing and a PRO version of the kits is now available. Sets of body parts for self-assembly are universal and allow you to assemble a 3D printer both on H-bot and Core XY kinematics. The B&R PRO versions of the kits have received a number of changes in a positive way and have received larger “Plus” versions of the kits. Now this is one of the most affordable ways to assemble a steel printer, which outperforms its brethren with a plywood case or an aluminum profile frame in all respects.
Such a 3D printer allows you to assemble a fairly budgetary structure from metal, and not from plywood / profile. The side walls are sheathed with acrylic panels (if necessary). The design allows the installation of a direct feed (direct extruder) of plastic, as well as dual extruders for color printing.
The range includes three new B&R Pros and two basic build kits:
- The B&R PRO 3030 kit has a printable area of 300 x 300 x 350 mm. Overall size 615 x 471 x 481 mm with a set weight of 19kg.
- Kit "B&R PRO 3030 plus" has an enlarged printable area of 320 x 320 x 350 mm. Overall size 615 x 496 x 501 mm with a set weight of 23 kg.
- Kit "B&R PRO 2525 plus" has a print area of 270 x 270 x 300 mm. Overall size 615 x 450 x 450 mm with a set weight of 19 kg.
- The B&R 3020 basic kit has a printable area of 300 x 200 x 300 mm. Overall size 570 x 455 x 370 mm with a set weight of 15 kg.
- B&R 2020 basic kit has a print area of 200 x 200 x 300 mm.
Overall size 570 x 405 x 370 mm with a set weight of 14 kg.
A heavy printer is good. The massive body well dampens excess vibration when working at high print speeds. The body itself is rigid, made of thick stamped steel with a powder coating. There are holes for installing a touch display (diagonal options are possible), holes for installing encoders, switches, USB panels. The electronics compartment is located under the "floor" of the device. I covered the nuances of assembling the basic kit for assembling a B&R 3D printer in a separate article.
The peculiarity of the project is not only the openness and accessibility of information, but also the possibility of implementing a moving scheme both in the form of CoreXY and in the form of H-Bot. The top panel provides for the installation of one of two versions of kinematics.
The assembly of B&R kits is quite simple - fastening the panels in turn, setting up the table, assembling the guides (shafts, rails), motors, connecting the electronics.
It should be noted that only steel painted panels are included in the B&R kit. Additional components are purchased by the user according to the list based on his own preferences. There is both an opportunity to save money and a path to assembling the most advanced 3D printer.
The advantage of 3D printers with a large printable area is that you can create large models without cutting into pieces and without subsequent gluing. An example of a complex layout mechanism is shown in the images below.
The B&R kit is one of the most affordable and smart options for DIY 3D printer assembly. Detailed information on assembling and setting up the printer can be found both in the official B&R group and in the project's telegram chat.
