Hi there!

A few months ago I've built the 2nd version of my Lego 3D Printer, and today I'm going to show how to build the 3rd version.

Watch the Demonstration Video (optional)

Bend the paper clip in a way that it partially stuffs the hole of the gluegun nozzle. This will allow for a more controlled extrusion process.

Use elastic bands to strap the paper (on which you'll print) to the moving platform
