![]() ![]() Of these, the working lawn mower we reported on a month ago is probably the most fascinating. In recent months, Hans has been working on a series of interesting and practical 3D printing projects to showcase his printer’s capacity. Finally, it’s also particularly efficient, as it works with enormously cheap plastic pellets, rather than filament rolls. Hans has estimated that its build speed is approximately twelve (!) times faster than a regular desktop FDM printer. So why then call it the Cheetah? That’s because its speed outclasses its size with ease. It’s name implies speed, but perhaps its size is more impressive: its build volume is a garage-filling 1000 x 1000 x 1000 mm. While we report on a lot of different and interesting 3D printers, his Cheetah 3D printer is part of entirely different category. Previous iteration of the machine in use. He is something of a veteran of 3D printing technology, having previously built a 3D chocolate printer, an eight-extruder setup capable of quickly printing intricate chocolate sculptures. This very interesting 3D printer, that we first reported on in early January 2015, has been built by South African engineer and chocolatier Hans Fouche. For those of you who feel that your regular desktop 3D printer is too slow, too small, too limiting, then I’ve got some good news: the South African-made Cheetah 3D printer, one the largest commercial FDM 3D printers can now be ordered.
