My CoreXY is completed, finally! [attachment 110822 Screenshot_20190402-105011_1.jpg] [attachment 110823 Screenshot_20190402-105018_1.jpg] The front panel is a peice of transparent acrylic. Interestingly, the bed heater can heat the chamber up to 60c without help of the chamber heater, but the chamber heater can do at most 55c and takes longer time. 3DTouch will be fried in the chamber and recover after cooldown. I don't think a genuine BLTouch will survive either. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?397,850492,850492#msg-850492 Mon, 14 Sep 2026 01:26:12 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?397,850492,850562#msg-850562 Re: My CoreXY is completed, finally! https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?397,850492,850562#msg-850562

It looks great, well done.

Can you post more photos? I would like to see connection between X and Y axis. Also the bed leveling system. Maybe some finished prints if you have?

Please check my Instagram in the signature. Just ignore those hairly, failed support, they won't affect the final print. lol]]> Ernest1122 CoreXY Machines Wed, 03 Apr 2019 10:41:45 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?397,850492,850561#msg-850561 Re: My CoreXY is completed, finally! https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?397,850492,850561#msg-850561

That looks pretty good- I like the way the lighting shows through the white side panels.

I think the side panels would work better as thermal insulators if you taped the edges to prevent air flow through them. You may also have problems with insects taking up residence if you leave them open, especially with the inside of the printer lit up. In my printer the panels are inside the t-slots in the frame which prevents most air flow and keeps bugs out, but I probably should have taped them anyway.

The triangle shadow is a surprise and becomes a logo.

Yeh I use EVA stripes and lock panels with t-nuts. Another convenient way is soft magnetic stripes, but they affect the servo control board a lot since they are hall effect sensors. I'll consult my vendor and then decide to use servos or pure steppers.
Put panels on and the chamber temperature raises to 60C easily. I'll consider to remove the active heater too.

Insects!? hmm.... XD]]> Ernest1122 CoreXY Machines Wed, 03 Apr 2019 10:39:18 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?397,850492,850560#msg-850560 Re: My CoreXY is completed, finally! https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?397,850492,850560#msg-850560

The yellow line (tool 1) is chamber temperature. Bed heater is ON, chamber heater is OFF. The thermistor is placed at top of the chamber.]]> Ernest1122 CoreXY Machines Mon, 01 Apr 2019 23:50:31 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?397,850492,850492#msg-850492 My CoreXY is completed, finally! https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?397,850492,850492#msg-850492 [attachment 110823 Screenshot_20190402-105018_1.jpg]
