Ut Uocare is a system of design metrics that can be used to create 3D printer clones at different scales. It was built in 2017 by Liam Johnson and Nick Seward in Hot Springs, Arkansas, USA. Ut Uocare comes from the Latin:to summon. Ut Uocare printers are controlled by a Core XY operating system, usually operated on a Smoothieboard. Currently there are two prototypes. The 450mm X 450mm X 610mm original prototype, and the 563mm X 563mm X 763mm Behemoth model prototype.
Typical Characteristics
- Octagonal or qauternary bed leveling
- Vertical elevation system
- Core XY configuration
- 3mm filament use
- Large printing volume
- Easy to dissasemble
- Low cost construction
- Relatively low print time
- High level of symmetry
- Minimized number of components
As a new category of printers it will be awhile until we know exactly what is and what isn't a Simpson.
Family
- THOR Simpson obsolete
