LAM (Large Area Mower) Monster - Overview
3D Printed Large Area Mower
Have a garden of 1500m² or bigger. Well honestly thats a big garden and who wants to spend all day mowing that!!
Solution: The ReP_AL 3D Printed Large Area Mower (LAM)
Project includes a 3D printed Lawn Mower capable of mowing very large areas and a charging station. I am currently working on cm accurate GPS specifically for the LAM which will add fantastic flexibility and features to this build.
LAM Specs & Build Requirements
LAM Mower coverage 1500m²+
Cut Width: 450mm (over 2x cut width of the 330 Mower)
3D Printer Required: 330x330x350mm
Skills Required: 3D Printing, Arduino, Soldering electrical components
Equipment Required: 3D Printer (or print service), PLA Material, Soldering Iron, Multimeter, Computer/Laptop with Arduino Software (free), Various screwdrivers and Allen wrenches (M3), Wire strippers.
The mower is equipped with 3 blade discs with a total cut width of 450mm. The LAM (Large Area Mower) enjoys the same features as the standard ReP_AL Mower.
- Smartphone APP Control via WIFI
- Cut Patterns
- Automatic Recharging
- Rain Sensor
- Timed Mowing
- GPS System (in development)
The STL or CAD data pack included a complete Build of Material list with links to the components used. Alternatively the original electrical components can be bought here in this shop individually or as a package. Using the original electrical components makes the build process easier and ensures smooth communication with the software:
The mower coverage is 1500m² - 3000m² depending on your battery size and garden incline. For smaller lawns the standard ReP_AL Lawn Mower should be selected. There will most probably be no 200mm print bed version of the mower due to the size of the parts.
LAM Charging Station
A specially designed LAM charging station acts as a docking station where the LAM's battery is charged ready for the next mow.
