Description
The 3D printer Galileo is a 3d printer open source .It' s a derivated work from the model of the RepRap Prusa from which the movement of the axes X, Y, Z but have been substantial changes that have allowed achieve greater print area and a lower cost of implementation

The Premises
The RepRap Prusa has an intuitive design and a system of simple and easy assembly, the plastic parts that make up the structure are easy to handle and require no great difficulty in mounting them with the mechanical structure, and allow to obtain results even without linear bearings and other benefits . The final structure is solid and makes it easy to transport thanks to low weight.
Bigger Dimension
The first step was to increase the size of printable area.La structure has been developed in such a manner so as to have more space to print.
Cheaper Structure
Another significant change has affected the mechanical structure of the new printer.It was find a new structure that could use a smaller number of pieces and always have a solid one .Similar to the mechanical also plastic parts have also been modified where possible or completely renovated. all this has led to savings in economic terms but also in terms of time required to assemble the printer itself
Open Design
The structure of the new printer is made to have an open design that allow subsequent changes in every part, also the X-cart which moves the extruder-it was so designed as to be universal and can be used with any type of extruder .The 'print area is easily accessible for a heated bed or in order to analyze the subject in print a
Benefits of the model:
Quick and easy to assemble Model
Spare plastic Intuitive: easy to assemble and print
Number less than threaded rods
Number less than smooth bars
Amount less hardware
Belts shorter
Open Design
Extruder in view
X-Cart is compatible with all types of extruders available
Printing area easily accessible
Print the objects in view

Am I seeing this right? The X axis is not guided by smooth rods? Or is that just not implemented yet? It also looks like the printer relies on the table to keep the Y motor prasket fro mtwisting.
I do like the effort to simplify the frame. Even the Prusa still has a lot of redundancy in it.
Hi thanks for the post, Yes the y motor is tighten to the rod with only two nut, i don't use the smooth rod to reduce the cost of the printer, but i manage to made also a fast print with this structure without smooth, becaus there is a 608 bearing and a plastics part that manage to taken perpendicular perfectly the rod to move Z
