With the development of additive manufacturing technology, the quantity of devices that can be used in small office with the commercial or educational purposes increases. In this research, the goal is to build a desktop 3D printer with selective laser sintering technology, which can be used for research purposes. The main concentration is focused on fabrication with parts that can be manufactured in the country or can be procured from the domestic market. It is also tried to make the 3D printer compatible with the common open-source additive manufacturing softwares. The fabricated 3D printer has the ability to work with all kinds of common polymer powders. In addition, it is easy to update the device's firmware according to the researcher's needs. The capabilities of the device was tested with Glucose powder, paraffin wax powder, and thermoplastic-ceramic material combinations. It is currently used for research on fabricating ceramic parts with indirect laser sintering.
