Fixing to start building my first core XY machine. Ive built a Prusa mendel, Prusa air and a couple Prusa I3 machines. Im sick of the flimsy designed Prusa's and ready to move on to something better. I have a couple questions.
I dont get along well with the openscad software. Maybe im getting to old for all the new fangled computer stuff i dont know. I want to use 8mm rods but it looks like the stl files are all for 6mm. I can get the openscad to output an stl file with all parts but it comes as an assembly type drawing not single seperate parts. Im stumped on how to get stl models made for 8mm rods.
Another question, i have no idea how long the belts need to be. I have lots of belt laying around but i dont know if i have any that are long enough for this machine or if i need to buy some more. The BOM states the total length of 3 meters and says to see openscad related to your parameters. I dont see anything in openscad that outputs belt lengths or anything else.
