V-Slot, CoreXY Build Update December 13, 2014 02:55PM |
Current progress on my printer:
As my basis, I'm using OpenBuild's V-Slot. That's everything you see there minus the build plate and added red color.
I'm going the CoreXY route after asking plenty of questions and seeking the furthest depths of the world wide web. I can't list out half those reason (researched it a while ago), I just know it's the best.
I know it's been a long time since I've been on the forums [even though I'm sure no one noticed, my presence is small] but life happens. Life is still happening. Just thought I'd chime in and show off my pretty black with red accents (I plan to powder coat the build plate red and/or black or something rather). I've come close to the next roadblock that will yet again make progress slow. It's solid, sturdy, all that good stuff. The bed frame's horizontal plane does rotate a bit when lifted at one side/corner, but only about 2-3mm. My planned double-motor Z-axis won't cause that issue at all. Friction is low everywhere it needs to be. I need to figure out the mounting of the build plate and all motors, how to drive the Z-axis (belt or screw, and how to mount/place), specifics on signal and mechanical transmission to carriage (I have a general idea; Flex3Drive and custom made CPU cable), and which electronics to get.
Realizer- One who realizes dreams by making them a reality either by possibility or by completion. Also creating or renewing hopes of dreams.

Nice 
I've put my CoreXY on hold for now, but will first be turning it into a laser-cutter 
Welcome back, for the time being!
