BLV mgn Cube
3D Printer
Hi, my name is Ben Levi and This is BLV mgn Cube - an open-source 3D printer project. building your own good and reliable 3D printer is the main purpose of this project. Basically, it's an open front structure CoreXY 3D printer, based on
mgn linear rails for maximum accuracy, efficiency
and high print quality.
BOM | BILL OF MATERIALS
To build the printer you need mechanical and electrical parts that need to be prepared in advance as well as parts that I designed for the BLV mgn Cube 3d printer. This section will help you figure out where you can get the required parts. I purchased the parts myself, checked them out and organized all the information for you in an optimal way, that will help you understand what you really need for the project.
To get started, you need to make a decision regarding the next two questions in the following flow chart:
I decided to build the printer!
getting the official METAL KIT or print all the parts?
A large portion of the printer parts needs to be printed. Printing the parts will save you money but takes a long time and skill. after the project came out, I released the "BLV METAL KIT" - an amazing aluminum kit that replace most of the printed parts. Using the aluminum kit has many advantages such as strength, reliability, and accuracy. obviously, The "BLV METAL KIT" is the recommended choice.
Getting the BLV Metal KIT
3D Print my own BLV parts
Getting a full kit or purchasing the parts separately?
The remaining electronics and mechanics parts can be found in the list of links (BOM) I made and personally tested one by one. Purchasing all the parts separately will be cheaper but may take a long time due to the shipping. Due to the growing popularity, two stores decided to make full kits for the Project. The kits are more expensive due to the shipping but save a ton of time. The first kit that came out was by Blurolls. Recently an improved kit from FYSETC came out. The new FYSETC kit contains many upgrades and I even reviewed it. The new step-by-step assembly guide is based on the FYSETC kit.
GETTING A FULL KIT
Getting the parts separately?
Which BLV KIT to choose?
There are a number of differences between the complete kits of the project. After testing and reviewing both kits. I found FYSETC kit became my favorite as it has many important upgrades, good support, and high-quality parts. Both have the new Blind joints frame (fast assembly). Please mind that only Blurolls has the Metal KIT included. Also, the next coming step-by-step guide will be based on the FYSETC kit.

Which Frame should i Get and from where?
Buying the frame from a local store is likely to be cheaper. However, Please note that lately I have released a new upgraded frame which is available online. It's a "BLV blind Joints" frame Which saves 70% of assembly time. It's also more stable and accurate. demo video >
Get a Blind Joints Frame
Purchase from a local store
For The X axis you have few option to choose from:
Optional: Frame Reinforcement for higher Z axis builds (465mm+)

DOWNLOAD
Since the project was released there have been few updates, add-ons, and improvements.
In order to make it easier for you to choose the right files for your build, I have created a new download page.
Do you have the Metal Kit for BLV mgn Cube?
There are two download options, the first contains all the original files of the project in case you intend to print all the mechanical and structural parts. The second option is for those who managed to get the METAL KIT . As you known, the METAL KIT significantly cuts the amount of the printed parts - saving you lots of printing hours, Providing more stable, reliable and accurate 3D printer.
I have the metal kit
This is a lighter version of the original BLV mgn Cube project zip file, I removed all the unnecessary files for those who have the METAL KIT . Just print the hotends setup and the Front panels. all the other parts are optional. file size is 35.5 MB and is available for download here:

I don't have the metal kit
This is the original file of the project - with all the printable parts. It contains all the necessary info including documents, drawings, print profile, CAD files, printable STL files, and more. Details about the contents of the folders provided below. file size is 50.8 MB and is available for download here:

I allowed myself to add a short description of each folder that appears in the project zip file:
3D Printing the Parts
In this section, I will help you understand how to print the different parts of the printer. The way you are going to print the parts is very important and there is a huge impact on the functioning of the printed parts. Therefore, you must pay close attention to the printing instructions. Everything is important: Orientation, amount of walls/perimeters, printing angle, type of filament, and even the printing speed.
Is it possible to get a kit of printed parts?
Not everyone has a 3D printer available or enough free time to print all the required parts for the BLV mgn Cube project. There are paid services that can print the parts for us, In most cases, the price will be expensive because it is a service that is priced mainly according to printing time.
However, I found a cheap yet good solution for those who want's an already 3d printed parts kit. a store on Aliexpress started selling a BLV mgn Cube 3d printed parts for pretty cheap, they used PETG green filament and 80% infill. T his may be a good solution if you don't have time nor 3dprinter.
LINK: 3d printed parts for BLV mgn Cube 3d printer
All the parts were designed to be easily printed and most of them would not require support. to make it more convenient I added two tools that can help you decide how to print the parts:
Filament type for the BLV parts
All parts must be printed using filaments that can handle the stress, pushing forces, temperature and so.
Therefore, the recommended filaments for this purpose are:
Please avoid printing parts using PLA/PLA+, it will deform due to the high temp inside while printing.
Common print settings
Printing orientation
The direction in which you place the part on the bed while printing has a huge effect on the strength of the part.
Therefore, it is very important that you take a good look at the image I have added below.
The picture shows the correct way to place the parts on the bed before printing:
Parts descriptions
I have prepared for you a gallery that contains further details on the printed parts.
Each image has a separate set of parts. Each part comes with the name and mode of printing.
Important: If there is a detail that contradicts what I wrote above (how to print section), then there is a higher priority for the text I wrote above (6 outer walls/perimeters, 7 bottom layers, 7 top layers).

The Cube 3D printer is a printer developed by 3D Systems. So far, the Cube printer can only print in one color, but the creators are working on an improvement. Popular PLA and ABS plastics are used for printing, which are environmentally friendly raw materials. The color palette of this material is quite rich, so each user will find exactly what he needs.
The Cube work chamber can process objects up to 14 x 14 x 14 cm in size. The model printer is connected to a computer. The connection is made using Wi-Fi. The software platform that comes with the printer supports many operating systems such as Windows. It also provides standalone operation. In this case, flash drives are used to which files are moved. They are connected to the USB port on the printer and printing starts.
