DIY with our 3D printer components

Do you need components for your DIY 3D printer - a so-called self-made 3D printer? You can get the right components to build your 3D printer with igus: energy chains that extend machine operating times. drylin linear bearings are virtually silent and dryspin lead screw nuts enable an efficient and precise adjustment of the print bed. Whether it's the smallest installation spaces, tightest bending radii or short assembly times, in our wide product range you will always find the right components for your self-made 3D printer.

Energy supply made easy with the following components:

E2 micro

Energy chain E2 micro, for small printers without additional cables

Ideal for x-, y- and z-axis
Designed for confined installation spaces
