I am well aware i did'nt throw any light on the feed system. Let me do that now.
What i mean by the feed system is: the mechanism that feeds brick and mortar to the header.

The brick feed system will feed brick from the ground where the bricks are packed, to the header.
Meanwhile, the bricks are packed into a brick tray. This tray is almost as long as the gantry. To load the brick tray, the tray is tilted 90 degrees downwards. This will enable the bricks to be loaded. The brick tray will hold 60 bricks.

Once the bricks are loaded, the tray is swung back in position by tilting it 90 degrees upwards to stand erect. The brick tray is fixed to the gantry and move along with it as a single piece.
The brick tray emptys its bricks by pushing out one brick at a time, on to a belt conveyor that conveys the brick to where it is to be taken to the header. Once the brick tray is empty the 'empty feedback' tells the 3D printer to pause. This pausing of the 3D printer also happens whenever the concrete in the tank attached to the header, is 5% of the tank's volume. The 'empty feedback' of the concrete pauses the 3D printer.

This is a saftey feature. Without it the 3D printer would continue printing a house despite the fact there isn't any mortar or any bricks. You can imagine what it would be like when this happens.

The motar feed system will feed motar from a motar tank on the ground. This tank is very large, it is fixed to the gantry and can move along with it.
An archimedes screw pump, pumps mortar from this tank, through pvc hose, to the upper level of that end of the truss, and into a mortar bucket that awaits it.

On the truss is a moving bucket called; mortar bucket. This bucket can slide on the same path as would the header, from one end of the truss, to the other end of the truss . The mortar bucket conveys mortar from one end of the truss, after receiving it from the Archimedes screw pump below, to the concrete tank of the header, only when the motar in the mortar tank of the header is at 5% of it's full capacity of the tank.
The reason of using such bucket setup is because, the length of the truss is very long, so using a long hose instead of a bucket, to convey motar to the header would impose problems of handling the long hose when the header slides from one end of the truss to the othe end of the truss.

The pix below is just what my 3D printer will be like. On one side of the beams would sit the feed systems. But i didn't show them in the drawing below, for explanatory purpose but i shall later.

The reason why the bricks are going to be fed to the header one at a time is because the weight of one brick is approximately 20kg, having more than one brick to be fed to the header would impose more weight in the truss. The truss is already carrying the weight of alot of things e.g the metals, stepper motors, motar, motar tank, bricks etc. And besides, the header can only handle one brick at a time, so why have the other brick sat there waiting where i could have it sit on one end of the truss where the beams can support its weight.

So when you you come to think of all the movements involved, you find out that there are going to be alot of stepper motors for this 3D house printer. The motors are going to range from small smaller, small, big, bigger and large if you can permit that lexicon.

I would be needing this model of drivers: TB6600 1 axis Stepper Motor 2-phase Driver Board for CNC Router 50v, 5A.
Alot of them.

I read about the NFL. And i think they are fit for your supplies but IMO, 1Million may not be enough for this project.

I think the Truss would have to be constructed with Steel/Stainless Pipes of various sizes.

.

I am well aware of that fact.. The crux is, i want to shrink it down so 1m would be enough.. It could incure more, but i intend to pass a message with this machine..
Just give me some few months..

Somewhat correct.. The truss is going to be constructed with Steel 'L section beams' like in the pix below, of various sizes.

For a good fabricator I think I will recommend a friend(silverdon nigeria ltd.) He is base in abuja and is good when it come to fabrication. he has any type of fabricating machine and equipment u can think of. He has won many award in fabrication which include ten million naira grant from youwin. His industry is in idu yard abuja. You can contact him through 08032702415. Good luck

Thanks for the recommendation.. I have noted that and jotted his number as well.
You didn't mention his name..

Nice concept.

Hope the Chinese don't nick your idea first.

Because they can make it cheaply.

I set out to look for the L section beam i would be needing to build the truss. I found the one in the pix below, although i didnt measure much the specs, but the thickness was okay. Albeit at a price of 3,500 naira per piece at a length of 12ft.
I will be needing these L beams as much as 100 pieces.

There is a Chinese company using the technology on commercial scale to build house.

I think you can get a lower price to that i stated on the other thread... since your quantity is now 100... Remember that price was for 50.

Can you get the actual thickness (mm) of that one you're holding? Might not be 6MM you know.

Here's another kind of stepper driver i shall be using. It is a microstepping driver. The model is ST-M5045.
Two of this driver will power the motor that will move the gantry along the axis of the rails. It is important to note here that, the weight on one side of the gantry will be pushing 1.5 ton (1,500kg) by the end of the build. Thats quite alot of weight when you come to think of the Nema 34 motor that will be driving it. But i am going to use a worm gear system to achieve the force needed to move 1.5 ton of weight.
