In this paper, we present the design and construction of a rapid prototyping machine based on FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) technology and the results of the test pieces made with it. The design basis of the machine was provided by an existing ISEL 5D milling machine, from which the two axes realizing the orientation movements were removed, and then the motion control of the three axes realizing the linear movements was realized with an Arduino Uno microcontroller. With the completed 3D printer, we printed test pieces from different raw materials and printing parameters during the testing, the results of which are reported.
