Bestik, a DIY Large-Format 3D Printer

Since July 2025 — In active use

A quiet, affordable 3D printer built for apartment living, with a 48×30×30 cm build volume and Wi-Fi control — designed to print large parts without the noise.

1. The Starting Point

We wanted a printer that was affordable, could handle large formats, and remained quiet enough for home use. Most off-the-shelf options were too expensive, too loud, or too bulky.

2. What We Built

Bestik is a DIY large-format 3D printer. It can:

Print up to 48×30×30 cm objects
Run quietly in an apartment setting
Be customized with modular parts
Operate fully over Wi-Fi
Produce some of its own structural components
Stream a live camera feed for monitoring

3. How It Works

Controller: Raspberry Pi + SKR Pico
Firmware: Klipper
Interface: Web-based desktop + mobile
Electronics: Silent stepper drivers, heated bed, modular hotend
Hardware: aluminum extrusion frame, linear rails, CoreXY belt-driven system, dual lead screws on Z, glass bed, silent fans, custom-printed mounts and brackets, integrated spool holder, cable chain, mounted webcam
Connectivity: Wi-Fi for remote control and file upload

4. Status

Bestik is actively used in our studio for printing shells, tools, and experimental parts.
