I'm moving onto a new controller board and would like to sell this setup. The Replicape hat comes with a beagle bone black as well. More info about the controller can be found here: PM me if you're interested.by Kewtdz - For Sale
I can echo the digital_dentist's comments. I have had good experience/luck buying both THK and IKO guides. Also, do not be afraid of contacting the seller and asking for a modification. I was looking for a set of 3 500+ mm guides for a delta printer and a seller had 2 875 mm IKO rails with 4 blocks on them for a good price. I asked if I could get 3 with 1 block on each and he created a custom iteby Kewtdz - CoreXY Machines
I've been a bit busy but the Milwaukee Maker Faire went well. I still have a few things to finish up on the printer before it will be printing but brought it to our Maker Faire to show off the project. The Digital Dentist and I had a lot of a shockingly good time (see DD's van de graaff generator) talking to people about the printers and out makerspace. Here are a few pictures from the Faire.by Kewtdz - CoreXY Machines
Thanks all for the feedback and support! I actually reviewed the DICE printer quite a bit when I was designing mine and almost thought about just building one of those instead. The controller board is a Replicape which I decided to use after getting a free Beagle Bone Black. I'll test the max speed after I get it running. I've been posting on my blog slowly but will post an update here soon tooby Kewtdz - CoreXY Machines
Images are updated! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!by Kewtdz - CoreXY Machines
Hmmm that is odd... I'ok try to fix it tonight!by Kewtdz - CoreXY Machines
Hello All! I've decided to finally post about my 3D printer build I've been working on for over 6 months now. The printer is designed to be a smaller build volume with dual extrusion with a corexy motion system. I decided to embrace the Digital Dentist's design method and use 1/2" tooling plate for most of the frame. Below are the specs on the rest of the printer Hotend: E3D Chimera Extrudersby Kewtdz - CoreXY Machines
I like the idea of such as large printer but want to add a couple questions along side the Dentist: 1. At 600 x 600 x 1000, where are you going to store this thing? 600 mm is almost 2 feet wide before you include any side panels or other parts. You may have difficulty getting a printer that size through doorways, even before you consider the weight. 2. Speaking of weight, will you every move it?by Kewtdz - General
Very impressive build. How are you liking the PrintBite surface? It seems to be working well on that ABS Polycarbonate, did you have to do any prep?by Kewtdz - CoreXY Machines
This is really helpful, especially the video. I'm leaning towards upgrading to 32 bit and finding another use for the RAMPS. I'm not confident that it will produce the results I'm looking for out of this machine.by Kewtdz - CoreXY Machines
Pheneeny, how high speed are you talking about? I would like it to be capable of high speeds but would only use it every once in a while.by Kewtdz - CoreXY Machines
I am working on designing a smaller form factor CoreXY printer for higher precision small parts using parts from a printer I've decommissioned. The motion system on the old printer left a lot to be desired in rigidity and durability so I decided to redesign it. The goal is a dual extrusion, 120 mm x 120 mm x 200 mm build platform with an almost or all metal construction. Since I am using spareby Kewtdz - CoreXY Machines
The aluminum setup really looks amazing. Also, what are the tolerances you are shooting for to be considered precision? Unfortunately, I haven't been able to work on it yet. I've been traveling this last week and I'm hoping to pick up the material this week/early next week.by Kewtdz - General
Thank you all for the information! I'm not sure the extent of the tooling that my local makerspace has but I think much of it is imperial based. Since the parts were designed with a single cutter, I'll probably purchase the required tooling. Also, o_lampe, I thought of using POM too and wondered if it would work well. After hearing your experience, I'll probably go that direction as I've workedby Kewtdz - General
QuoteSimon0362 managed to get my CNC mill functioning at the weekend and the first run was the eccentric gears - the photos show two batches (the beauty of CNC to replicate!) along with the trial piece (failed to cut one pin hole!) and a couple of plastic printed pieces in a rather garish yellow... Could have been easier if I had had some aluminium of the correct thickness instead of having to mby Kewtdz - General
@Lykle It looks like an interesting design and a good potential option. I noticed you are planning to launch a crowd funding campaign to cover mold costs, how long do you think it will be before the extruder is available?by Kewtdz - Delta Machines
Quoteo_lampe QuoteKewdtz Have you been able to print with yours? Yes, it prints well, but I'm still testing how I can retract faster. The output shaft started slipping until I got milled an aluminum dowel pin holder. Now I'm at 60mm/s retraction and still testing... Also I had to reduce the outer radius of the bed levelling gcode to avoid rod-collision with the stepper at certain points.. Thby Kewtdz - Delta Machines
Quoteo_lampe The wear on the effector and rods mainly depends on the acceleration values. Since you accept to print slow, you can try direct drive. I'm building one right now and find it difficult to use the whole width of my bed, because the pancake/cycloid gear extruder collides with the rods at some points. Here is what I am working on for a Titan effector. Based on 3d modeling, a pancake shoby Kewtdz - Delta Machines
I've been following many of the threads here for some time and have decided to start my new delta printer build. While I know this topic has been discussed other threads and there is postings on the wiki, I still have a couple questions related to my project about effector weight and extruder options. I'm working on a larger delta using 875mm linear rails and around a 300mm build plate diameter.by Kewtdz - Delta Machines
