Good stuff! Looking forward to more test resultat!by DLF - CoreXY Machines
Wow, BIG! But I must say it looks flimsy. Does it feel flimsy? I would certainly like to see some cross bracing! When you get it printing I suspect you will see artifacts from frame wobble.by DLF - Mechanics
The "shadow" is called ringing and caused by the print head shaking after sharp turns. Try tightening your belts and check that the hot end is fastened properly. Too high jerk-settings in firmware can cause ringing too. The holes could be from too much retraction if you have set random placement of z-layer start/stop point. If not, it could be uneven extrusion. Perhaps your extruder Gear is noby DLF - Printing
Great job and a good looking machine! Lets hear what you plan om doing next? It never stops with the first machineby DLF - Look what I made!

The sodastream ideal seems great in my mind. A used sodastream could donate the screw om valve/seal. Those things will have to hold the system pressurized and ready to use when operated as intended. Adding a termo-trigger (I like the hose-idea that was suggested) and pressure gauge would give a quite powerful automatic extinguisher.by DLF - General
I see. I have not tried carbonfiber filament so I dont know how it compares to other filaments. Still, if this was me building I would gladly sacrifice a bit of travel to gain all the rigidity I can get. It's still a plastic FFF mount we are talking about. Just to be Clear I am not trying to rag on your build, overall I think it looks great! These are just my two cents regarding this detailby DLF - Extruded Aluminum Frames
How come you choose not to make it more massive/box-like? Like DD suggested? Seems unnecessary to build such a strong frame and then add what in my mind looks like a weakpoint. If it doesnt hinder the function I would try to add mass to that mount to prevent flexing/distortion.by DLF - Extruded Aluminum Frames

Quite a few. Do some google searches om the subject. Sure, most have been cheap kits with substandard electronics and thermal runaway disabled. But the potential to start a fire is there in all printers. the_digital_dentist; why not do both if the extra protection against unforseen risk can be had for a reasonable cost?by DLF - General
The "stove" extinguisher contains a fire suppressant that will corrode the printer. It will likley stop the fire but any part of the printer that survived the flames will be destroyed by the fire suppressant. The other one seems like a better choice. An "clean" fire suppressant like co2 is preferable for this reason. Att what temperature does a co2 cartridge rupture when heated? I remember Themby DLF - General
Sounds like an interesting idea! But I agree with previous posts; if you do not have some way to either puncture the tube when fire starts or pre-puncture and monitor pressure it might just lead to a false sense of security. I too worry about fire and would be very interested in a solution like this. Please keep us updated!by DLF - General
Definitly something to consider for the future! Upgrades are half the fun It’s up and running now. It has a more metallic tone but I can’t say it’s noticably louder. Will try higher speeds and see how that effects sound level.by DLF - CoreXY Machines
The criss cross would have been nice! Too bad I didn’t think of that! I’ll see how the noise-level turns out. If it’s to bothersome I’ll probably do a combination: sound dampening and trying to quiet the machine itself. Soon I’ll be moving to a house outside of the city so hopefully the neighbours wont be affected. My wife may however still have things to say in the matter How does the Igus fby DLF - CoreXY Machines
Glad you like it! With todays cheap chinese printers scrapraps are few and far between. But still a lot of fun and a good learning experience I’m with MKSA on this one. Allso, the plan is to never remove the alu. I can disassemble to printer without doing so if needed. How big of an issue the noise is remains to be seen. I tested the printer before adding sheet alu. It will be interesting to seby DLF - CoreXY Machines
Hello! I’ve been lurking for a year or so and thought I should finally contribute something. Short story, TLDR at bottom. I built a Prusa/Mendel style scraprap to be able to print parts for a coreXY. But where I live, in the northern parts of Scandinavia, T-slot is rather expensive. So; I looked around for alternatives. 20x20 square aluminium tubing seemed like an alternative since a printer baby DLF - CoreXY Machines
