Yes, it is an HBot indeed. Can easily be turned into a (crossing-belt) CoreXY though, which I have actually tried but didn't see any real benefit -at least in this machine- even though I do understand the theoretical advantages.
While when forcefully moved by hand there is a bit of a gantry twist, when actually printing there is none or negligible. In other words, it prints fine :)
Trigorilla board is made by Anycubic, probably the only Chinese printer company that I trust. It's 8-bit though but I might upgrade to a Duet in the future.
Other than that, electronics are 12v, MK3 heat bed and now using TMC2208 drivers.

Thanks again :)]]> nuverian General New Machines Topics Mon, 06 Aug 2018 15:26:02 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?152,829756,830373#msg-830373 Re: Tribotron - My first custom printer. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?152,829756,830373#msg-830373 Also, on second glance, is that an H-bot? The belts don't seem to cross anywhere. Either way, cool machine. What electronics is it running? I haven't heard of trigorrila which was listed in the thingiverse description.]]> Trakyan General New Machines Topics Sun, 05 Aug 2018 23:47:45 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?152,829756,830370#msg-830370 Re: Tribotron - My first custom printer. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?152,829756,830370#msg-830370
Yeah, I should have posted in the CoreXY subforum, but now, I wouldn't want to make double post and I don't see any way of moving the post :-/]]> nuverian General New Machines Topics Sun, 05 Aug 2018 20:46:33 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?152,829756,830210#msg-830210 Re: Tribotron - My first custom printer. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?152,829756,830210#msg-830210
Try posting this on the corexy subforum, you might get more comments and feedback as it's a bit more active.]]> Trakyan General New Machines Topics Sat, 04 Aug 2018 03:42:46 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?152,829756,829831#msg-829831 Re: Tribotron - My first custom printer. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?152,829756,829831#msg-829831
Yeah very similar indeed.
I initially thought of doing a triangle like yours but opted for this design so that it leaves space in within the frame for PSU and board. Something I ended up not doing in the end, so LOL :P
The only other real difference I can think is that you can change the ratio by only changing the motor driven leadscrew pulley, instead of all 3 leadscrew to something like a 60T like in your build, but yeah it is indeed a bit more complicated. I am not sure if for better or worse yet though.
It is a 1524mm belt. Here is a link to aliexpress product page.
I hope it helps! :)]]> nuverian General New Machines Topics Mon, 30 Jul 2018 16:37:54 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?152,829756,829765#msg-829765 Re: Tribotron - My first custom printer. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?152,829756,829765#msg-829765 Where did you find these extra long belts? I had to make some compromise regarding 'belt-wrap' and the front two ballscrews are not on the edge of the printbed.]]> o_lampe General New Machines Topics Mon, 30 Jul 2018 00:27:32 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?152,829756,829756#msg-829756 Tribotron - My first custom printer. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?152,829756,829756#msg-829756
