wbwing: Hi. I can answer questions as best I can if you have any. But yes I am currently not active on this project. -Yes I believe the bed is around 600x600. Which is pretty big. -I also had not considered electronics or spooling. But I guess I had figured these features where not mechanically integral to performance and can be added later. The design is quite large, but I don't see any reasby Rectangled - CoreXY Machines
Hello, This is long overdue, but here are the CAD files for this project I am really sorry about the delay. I noticed that a lot of people where requesting the files and I have basically been totally absent on the forum for about a year now! Now that school is finished I can resume this project and after thinking more about it, I might move to a Kossel design. Some notes on the CAD: -It isby Rectangled - CoreXY Machines
Belts and secondary Y motion finally installed. I kind of expected that once I got into the assembly I would learn a lot and already there are things that I need to go back and change in CAD. Particularly, the order in which things came together was not heavily considered and I had to do a lot of cutting, filing and swearing to get things to fit. Belt motion feels good.

Finalized CAD (grayscale) First Assembly of XY mech (no Y, just X right now) It has been a while since my last post, but this has been kinda my back-burner project. This is a quick post, and I will try to address the comments above in a later post (regarding your belting suggestions).by Rectangled - CoreXY Machines
Hey Guys, Thanks again for the feedback! Hey Floyd, always nice to meet another fellow designer. Currently, I am using (and learning at the same) time Creo at my work which is proE. It is a pretty neat piece of software especially the Style feature. If you are solidworks native you should defiantly check it out. Here is my CAD update. One of the issues I had with my previous design was evby Rectangled - CoreXY Machines
Thanks guys! jtoombs: The the images are done in keyshot 5. The program is incredibly user friendly and creates impressive studio images within minutes and minimal rendering knowledge. It doesn't have GI capabilities like vray, but after all it is designed for product rendering. It also integrates well with just about any CAD package, (solidworks, catia, creo, sketchup, rhino, etc). Check it ouby Rectangled - CoreXY Machines
Hello all, I have just started to design my very first 3D printer and I just felt it was at a good point in time to share my CAD to get people's feedback to make sure I am not doing anything horribly wrong or offensive. Plus it will help influence my design for the better and will share all solidworks files once done. I have creeped the forum and wiki quite a bit and defiantly like the coreXYby Rectangled - CoreXY Machines
Quotegforce1 QuoteRectangled @gforce1 I really like that belt configuration and I was contemplating using it. Does it actually work? Thanks. I am still building, waiting for bearings. I can move everything by hand and it works sofar. Sweet, any pictures? Or updated CAD? How did you execute the stacked idlers?by Rectangled - CoreXY Machines

I am a little skeptical about how the toothed pulleys would lend themselves to 'binding and uneven tension' as you mentioned. You might have to help me understand the concept a little more. However, I thought about it and I could imagine that maybe if the pulleys where at a slightly off distance from each other that the belt segment in between the pulleys is forced to become slack (say when reveby Rectangled - General
Hello everyone, I am running into the same area of thinking; to use toothed idlers or not. I think it is a good idea; not for timing obviously but because I feel it would just add better control, guidance, and syncing all around. Plus, could it be possible to compress or tire out the teeth of the belt by having it roll over a perfectly round surface, like a bearing OD? I haven't actually gottenby Rectangled - General
