prusa i2 goes core xz I had a old prusa i2 frame lying around as i used up most of the parts for my mendel max. I thought that a great way to bring it back to life would be to convert it to a corexz. That way it would get rid of all the z screw issues. I get a printable area of 190 x 200 with this setup. I have used 625vv bearings and 18mm aluminum spool. v1.jpg mod_embed_images_loadimage('93758142b746f4f69c717920a34d232f', 'https://reprap.org/forum/addon.php?2,module=embed_images,url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.imageupload.co.uk%2Fimages%2F2014%2F11%2F03%2Fv1.jpg', 'http://www.imageupload.co.uk/images/2014/11/03/v1.jpg', 'https://reprap.org/forum/addon.php?2,module=embed_images,check_scaling=1,url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.imageupload.co.uk%2Fimages%2F2014%2F11%2F03%2Fv1.jpg', '', 427389, 800, 400, 'Loading image ...', false); v2.jpg mod_embed_images_loadimage('c6a95c197aab6385136d4fd6c37f35b4', 'https://reprap.org/forum/addon.php?2,module=embed_images,url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.imageupload.co.uk%2Fimages%2F2014%2F11%2F03%2Fv2.jpg', 'http://www.imageupload.co.uk/images/2014/11/03/v2.jpg', 'https://reprap.org/forum/addon.php?2,module=embed_images,check_scaling=1,url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.imageupload.co.uk%2Fimages%2F2014%2F11%2F03%2Fv2.jpg', '', 427389, 800, 400, 'Loading image ...', false); files https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?2,427389,427389#msg-427389 Mon, 15 Jun 2026 07:48:57 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?2,427389,466354#msg-466354 Re: prusa i2 goes core xz https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?2,427389,466354#msg-466354

Looks great.

What are the bass guitar tuners for?

Tensioning of the string and leveling of the gantry. (That is why you need 2.)]]> nicholas.seward Developers Thu, 05 Feb 2015 11:38:55 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?2,427389,466327#msg-466327 Re: prusa i2 goes core xz https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?2,427389,466327#msg-466327

There is no firmware for core xz just a gcode post processor . This was not meant to be a new printer but a retrofit for the prusa i2 .

I have a hacked version of marlin that works for me. (No endstop code) No gcode manipulation required. PM me if you would like what I have.]]> nicholas.seward Developers Sat, 24 Jan 2015 22:07:47 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?2,427389,460277#msg-460277 Re: prusa i2 goes core xz https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?2,427389,460277#msg-460277 ekaggrat Developers Sat, 24 Jan 2015 21:56:41 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?2,427389,459618#msg-459618 Re: prusa i2 goes core xz https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?2,427389,459618#msg-459618

Wow! Really great idea.

This should enable much quicker movement and it certainly stabilizes the printer by lowering the mass of the steppers to the base.

I believe this one deserves a new variant name...

Does CoreXZ not work for the name? In my signature below is a link to a working CoreXZ. (Box frame instead of thread frame but that is a minor detail.)]]> nicholas.seward Developers Fri, 23 Jan 2015 12:57:30 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?2,427389,459586#msg-459586 Re: prusa i2 goes core xz https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?2,427389,459586#msg-459586 MachineHum Developers Fri, 23 Jan 2015 11:15:19 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?2,427389,459520#msg-459520 Re: prusa i2 goes core xz https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?2,427389,459520#msg-459520

Your Idea is totally brilliant !!! (tu)

Can you let me know the changes made by you in marlin as there is no threaded rod for the Z axis.

Thanks in advance!
