The Cheetah 3.1 3D printer is now available for purchase from Fouche 3D Printing for 100,000 South African Rand, plus shipping, which is approximately $8,634.

It is also capable of printing using raw plastic pellets as opposed to spools of filament like that which are required by most other FFF-based printers on the market today. This isn’t the only benefit provided by the Cheetah, however. It prints in layers ten times the height of other machines, meaning it can build up large objects ten times faster. This is because the Cheetah 3D printer exchanges print resolution for speed. Some of Fouche’s incredible creations include his 3D printed working lawn mower, his 3D printed shoes, and even a 3D printed vacuum cleaner that doubles as a flower pot.Īll of these creations were fabricated on Fouche’s unique Cheetah 3D printer, which is capable of printing extra large object in about a tenth of the time it would take to print a similar sized object on another FFF-based 3D printer. Using this 3D printer, he has printed several very unique products which typically would not even be considered feasible on other FFF-based machine.

Fouche is the creator of the Cheetah 3D printer, a 3D printer unlike anything else currently out there on the market.

Over the course of the past several months, if you are an avid reader of, you would have read several stories concerning a South African man named Hans Fouche.
