Hixper - A 3d Printer
I plan to build a 3d printer from scratch. I know its not that much easy but I love to Take challenges. I Planned to build a printer to make the printing smoother and good quality

Hello! This is cool, however:
- There are multiple floating extrusions
- Your journals seem to be AI
- They arent even in multiple entries
- The Onshape and SolidWorks link dont link anywhere
- The journal should show more screenshots of u actually designing the project
- I see contradictory progress reports
- I see strong similarities between your design and the open-source AM8, with no acknowledgement. This is the biggest issue and may even be considered fraud.

Hixper is a compact, budget-friendly 3D printer designed to stay budgetfriendly while maintaining high functionality. It features a filament detection system to automatically pause printing when the filament runs out, ensuring smooth and uninterrupted prints. Built for efficiency and affordability, it’s ideal for makers looking for a reliable and cost-effective 3D printing solution.
Plan to achieve
I ofter notices after 3D prints finish, thin plastic threads (stringing) often appear between gaps or travel paths. This ruins surface quality and usually requires manual post-processing. So I plan to build a system to auto smooth the printing, by automatically blows precisely controlled hot air at specific positions, we can do this thing to get smooth print.
- ### How it will be
-
Glass Enclosure:
- As shown by your blue outline, the printer is enclosed in a glass case to:
- Maintain internal temperature.
- Prevent air disturbance.
- Contain hot air application safely.
- Airflow System:
- A series of airflow nozzles (shown in purple dots on the sides in your image) installed vertically on both sides of the printer frame.
- These nozzles are controlled to release hot air in short bursts on specific layers or coordinates post-print.
- As shown by your blue outline, the printer is enclosed in a glass case to:

BOM (Bill Of Materials) & CAD Model
Day - 1, ( 11/11/25 ) - Planning and breakdown idea
I plan to build a 3d printer from scratch. I know its not that much easy but I love to Take challenges. I Planned to build a printer to make the printing smoother and good quality
Day - 2, ( 13/11/25 ) - Planning and breakdown idea
⏳ Time Spent: 5+ hours
- Watched multiple YouTube videos on how 3D printers work and their components.
- Read various articles to understand FDM printing, mechanics, and common issues.
- Identified filament detection as a key problem to solve.
- Goal: Keep cost under $400 while ensuring quality.
- Planned a filament sensor to pause printing when filament runs out.
- Next: Research detection methods, sketch design, estimate costs.
Day - 2, ( 14/11/25 ) - Findings and gather printer idea from exist one
⏳ Time Spent: 3+ hours
Firstly I researched popular 3D printers to understand their features, components, and designs. I noted key aspects like print volume, filament types, quality, and ease of use. I organized my findings and explored technologies to make the idea happen. So lessgo on building....
Day - 3, ( 17/11/25 ) - Assembly frame structure
⏳ Time Spent: 4+ hours
Description
- Started to design the main skeleton of the printer.
Day - 4, ( 20/11/25 ) - z axis assembly
⏳ Time Spent: 5+ hours
Description
- Designing printer Z-axis
Parts Breakdown ( z-axis left & z-axis right)
Day - 5, ( 24/11/25 ) - Z-axis limit switch & Y-axis assembly
⏳ Time Spent: 5+ hours
Description
- Firstly i started to design the printer Z-axis and then
- Design the limit switch here
After that started to design the Y-axis
-

Day - 6, ( 25/11/25 ) - X-axis assembly
⏳ Time Spent: 3+ hours
Description
- Designing printer X-axis
Day - 7, ( 26/11/25 ) - Feed & Cooling Assembly
⏳ Time Spent: 4+ hours
Description
- Here i design the feed and then started to work in the main fun fact so it not miss the filament anymore
- Added an IR sensor at the filament entry point to detect if the filament is missing.
- If filament is missing during printing, the sensor triggers:
- Automatic pausing of the print
- An alert sound.
- A popup notification to your phone.
Day - 8, ( 27/11/25 ) - Control Panel, Power and Display
⏳ Time Spent: 3+ hours
Description
- For this i review many power supply for printer
- And which power supply will better for my printer.
- And all basis thought it may good to go
Day - 9, ( 28/11/25 ) - Adding Auto Smoothing
⏳ Time Spent: 11+ hours
- Today i hope to finish it full less goooo.
- Firstly i covered the printer with glass so the air works
- Making a door for the glass
- Installing the frame and nozzle for the air flow
- And fixing some layout and things
![Hixper full printer]
Day - 10, ( 29/11/25 ) - Preparing Final BOM
⏳ Time Spent: 3+ hours
This is quite pain to find right goods based on budget and availability.
I search on Alibaba and Aliexpress
And got the items also but it will take a bunch of time so decided to make a purchase from local market.
Day - 11, ( 30/11/25 ) - Readme and Reviewing
⏳ Time Spent: 2+ hours
- I updated the readme Overall and correct some stuffs
