Abstract - The 3D printing process is becoming more and more popular these days due to its advantages over traditional processes. A 3D printer is a machine that creates objects from plastic, nylon and many other materials. 3D printers are now portable and very expensive. By analyzing this problem, we are trying to design a 3D printer. Compared with other 3D printers, the cost of this printer is much lower. Make a low-cost 3D printer with a price 15% lower than the market. The   generation of 3D printing is mainly based on additive manufacturing. This generation has the power to transform economic sectors by generating products in the shortest possible time. Previously, it would have taken days, months, or even years to generate the same product. The research on these printers and their software aims to make the printers much cheaper than the printers currently on the market. In 3D printer technology, three-dimensional objects are created by depositing successive layers of material. In this project, we focus on the design and development of a 3D printer that can be built economically. We use firmware and a 3-axis mechanism where 3 axes are x-y-z with an extruder.

Key Words:  RepRap (Arduino MEGA) board, G- code Marlin.
