Laser cutted CoreXY printer platform Hello Makers, We started to develop a modular 3D-Printer platform that we want to share with you. After several years of printer usage in fablabs, we found that: - All electronic parts have to be easily accessible - All electronic parts have to be totally enclosed / no loose wires - The extruder+hotend should be swappable in under 2 minutes - should have a solid frame We designed a modular system that consist of: - the frame with Z-Axis • Laser-cutted wooden panels screwed onto 4x 272mm Bosch Rexroth 30x30mm • slot for graphic panel • short wiring in a closed electronic compartment with • enclosed ATX-power supply • easy to swap extruder with molex connector (Panel on the left) • window ready for enclosed print-area • Z-Axis with: o 1220mm closed-loop GT2 o 3x either M8 or TR10x2 screws guided by o 625 ball bearings o 2x 10mm guides - The xy-Kinematic-module that holds either an h-bot or a core-xy kinematic Currently in the design phase It will be clamped to the plate on top of the print area a connected with 3 plugs. The two steppers are less then 15cm away from the board. Next week we will build the first frame and continue with the integration of the z-axis. We would love to hear your ideas and inputs on the design. Maybe someone wants to join our next design-session via google hangout? We are going to meet 11th of February at around 7pm UTC+1 [attachment 71971 ISO.PNG] Cheers Jan https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?397,622524,622524#msg-622524 Thu, 08 Oct 2026 08:36:48 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?397,622524,636497#msg-636497 Re: Laser cutted CoreXY printer platform https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?397,622524,636497#msg-636497
Can you give more info about the lcd you are using, firmware and how do you have the SD card reader in that position?]]> filipeCampos CoreXY Machines Mon, 07 Mar 2016 09:23:27 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?397,622524,627445#msg-627445 Re: Laser cutted CoreXY printer platform https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?397,622524,627445#msg-627445
we have finished the first prototype of the frame.

The XY module sits on top and closes the frame. It holds the two steppers end stops

The breakout for an easy extruder and hotend change is made with molex connectors. In this case we used ATX extension cords. They fit perfectly into a 3mm plate and cost only 2 / 2,50€ per cable.


@angelo: Danke für den Tipp! - Grüße nach Frankfurt

Aluminium Laser cutting in good Quality and not so expensive you can test it by:

@Edvardas: Little changes are neededds. After we verfied the design with plywood, we want to build one with 3mm waterjetted aluminium plates (inner) + 3mm pmma (outer)]]> JeanClaudeMerlot CoreXY Machines Sun, 07 Feb 2016 05:57:08 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?397,622524,622589#msg-622589 Re: Laser cutted CoreXY printer platform https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?397,622524,622589#msg-622589 Edvardas CoreXY Machines Sun, 07 Feb 2016 04:10:31 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?397,622524,622529#msg-622529 Re: Laser cutted CoreXY printer platform https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?397,622524,622529#msg-622529


If you want maximum versatility, enclose the build chamber and insulate to allow printing of ABS and to control fumes/smell, make sure the electronics will be outside the build chamber, use a 32 bit controller board with an easily accessible LCD control panel and SD card slot. This will put you ahead of about 90% of the printers out there.

We started to develop a modular 3D-Printer platform that we want to share with you. After several years of printer usage in fablabs, we found that:

- All electronic parts have to be easily accessible
- All electronic parts have to be totally enclosed / no loose wires
- The extruder+hotend should be swappable in under 2 minutes
- should have a solid frame


We designed a modular system that consist of:

- the frame with Z-Axis
• Laser-cutted wooden panels screwed onto 4x 272mm Bosch Rexroth 30x30mm
• slot for graphic panel
• short wiring in a closed electronic compartment with
• enclosed ATX-power supply
• easy to swap extruder with molex connector (Panel on the left)
• window ready for enclosed print-area
• Z-Axis with:
o 1220mm closed-loop GT2
o 3x either M8 or TR10x2 screws guided by
o 625 ball bearings
o 2x 10mm guides
- The xy-Kinematic-module that holds either an h-bot or a core-xy kinematic
Currently in the design phase
It will be clamped to the plate on top of the print area a connected with 3 plugs. The two steppers are less then 15cm away from the board.


Next week we will build the first frame and continue with the integration of the z-axis.

We would love to hear your ideas and inputs on the design. Maybe someone wants to join our next design-session via google hangout?
