Hello masterviana,
I am also working on the design of a new printer. I've decided to go with the Hypercube evolution, but adapted to make use of a load of parts I have salvaged from a Kossel. I am also a CAD engineer. However with the release to the market of the Ender 5 + the whole project has become a bit moot. And I have absolutely nowhere to put a printer bigger than my Ender 3.
If you go for a single Z motor and belt linking the leadscrews don't forget that a tensioning system will be needed for the belt. I have seen this done and you can still get syncronisation issues between the leadscrews if there is any springiness in the belts. Got caught this way professionally once. I'm intending to go the dual Z motor route myself. Do you know how this is done controls wise? I suspect that the control signals are cloned onto a spare stepper driver for the second Z motor.
I am using 12mm guided rods too. Rods, bearings, and mounts are harder to find than 8mm or 10mm ,but the rigidity will be much higher. Also, I want to go for TR8 x 2 leadscrews rather than the TR8 x 8. This should improve Z accurcy and avoid the bed falling on a power outage problem, without resorting to anti-backlash nuts.
If you want a hand with the design or just someone to bounce ideas off I would be interested.
