Quotegforce1 Why are you making these updates? What is the purpose of flipping the motors? The leadscrew i can understand. Flipping the motors is for a few reasons. Reason 1 I have motors with encoders I'd like them top mounted to I can get at the encoder PCB for debugging purposes. Reason 2, I like the way it looks. Reason 3 the final design encloses the printer with paneling mounted on all 6by stratmaster458 - CoreXY Machines
Pushed a big update - Flipped motors - Moved Z motor to bottom - Selected new lead screw and nut from OpenBuilds New Nut New Lead Screw Next Update: - Revise corner bracket plates - Revise Z-stage design to accept new nut plate from OpenBuilds - Add Optical endstop mountingby stratmaster458 - CoreXY Machines

Quotesupernielsen Anyone knows about this guy? He is building one aswell based on this and i really dig it and would love to have a look at the files for it Did you try to contact the guy ? Also what is different about his design ?, It seems very similar to Jands's stock design. I'd like to see the files too, may be more improvements that cant be seen from the pictures.by stratmaster458 - CoreXY Machines
QuoteZerginator Hi stratmaster458, nice variant! I think I should show my variant (work in progress), too. You can also find my variant on github as fork of Jand's design: github/protarios I really like your idea to vertically integrate e3d printheads. Do you mind, if I add that variant to mine? I want to create a version, that allows for different printhead setups (e3d v6, e3d chimera andby stratmaster458 - CoreXY Machines
QuoteLarsK That Z axis - It looks like you are only using a single linear bearing on each side to support it? (did not open the CAD model) For the Z Axis I plan on using LM12LUU 12mm linear bearings, one per rod. They are in the latest model, that I just pushed to the github repository now. I think the bearings should be adequate though if not I'd like to hear why. the original design called fby stratmaster458 - CoreXY Machines
Hello, I'd like to share my variant of Zelogik/Jand's CoreXY printer, specifically my variant of Jand's printable version the RepRap-XY. I have to say its a really cool design, ever since seeing it I wanted to roll my own. I call my version Iteration 2 since its very similar but incorporates a few changes and upgrades that make it different enough to be its own design I think.

Has anyone here scaled up the design? I have a bunch of 1 meter aluminum extrusion for building Jand's variant. I was thinking it might be easier to just half the pieces and just build the design sligthly bigger. I need a larger build area for my BB-8 build anyways Just curious if anyone has scaled this up.by stratmaster458 - CoreXY Machines
I've been wanting to build a tantillus with my girlfriend for a while. I want to build goopyplastic's variant with belts. Does anyone know what kind of belts the folks that are running belt driven tantillus' are running? I haven't been able to find out what tooth count GT2/MXL belts people are using and whether the pulleys are MXL or GT2.by stratmaster458 - Tantillus
I going to be doing the same thing, but I am using Goopyplastic's t-slot tantillus as the basis for mine. I will be modifting the positions of the rods in the corner brackets to accepy my ultimaker rods, bearings, and belt sets .

Hello, I built a classice Rostock over a year ago. I had issues getting it to print correctly, I eventually grew frustrated with it and set the project aside to work on other things. Now I want to get it printing again and try to fix all the problems I had before.

Hey folks, I'm in the middle of designing a multi purpose machine, 3D printer and mill.The design I am going for is most similar to the Tantillus/Ingentis/Eustathios and Ultimaker style XY positioning system. At the NYC makerfaire there was a small company showing off a machine they made calle dthe BoXYZ (company name is the same). The BoxXYZ is effectively a waterjetted ultimaker frame designby stratmaster458 - Tantillus
Quoteledaero I buy mine from China. Even factoring the shipping, etc., it's still cheaper than in Europe and definitely cheaper than anything from Misumi. And the quality is really good - very heavy and strong, much more than I thought it was going to be. I paid US$3.50 each for a 1000mm piece.

It was a combination of poorly assembled extruders and the wrong steps/mm for the extruder, I am now using a SeeMeCNC EZStruder with 92 steps per mm for the extruder, now I just gotta work out some bed level issues.by stratmaster458 - Delta Machines
I just realized my steps/mm for my extruder were way off. I think that might be what the problem is. I'm going to give it a shot and let you know how it goes.by stratmaster458 - Delta Machines
So I've been working on my Rostock since July and it hasn't yet worked 100%, I have been dealing with the bowden extrusion system since August and its sort of driving me crazy.

This didn't end up working as the bowden tube kept popping out during prints. - 2nd conby stratmaster458 - Delta Machines

I have yet to try any of the additional fixes posted here (e.g. anything other than bkapps original suggestion) I felt I should post my congfiguration files here to see I got anything wrong.

I was experiencing similar stuttering issues with my Rostock as well. Is there a way to computer DELTA_SEGMENTS_PER_SECOND ? Currently I have been using Johan's default value of 200by stratmaster458 - Delta Machines
Yup My hotend is clogged. I have no idea how that happened, Its a brand new MakerGear hotend kit I assembled and everything went together just fine when I assembled it. Any idea how to fix it?

Thanks for getting back to me! I will try the motor swapping for the X/Y direction fix but first I will try simulating a print to see if its a problem. I'll do all the test with the extruder, I don't know if I can shorten the bowden cable and I'm not sure how to test if my thermister is reading the temperature correctly, how do I check?

This seems to be the most popular forum on this site so I thought I'd post my question here. Currently I get my plastic filament from Ultimachine since they sell a quality product, I know they get their filament where most other suppliers get theirs but they weigh the plastics and check for defects before sealing them in plastic bags for shipping, I have not heard of other companies doing this.by stratmaster458 - General Mendel Topics
