Thank you for all the input, i've started working on an ultimaker style, my "plan" is to try keep the design with a foot print under 220*220 and achieve 120-150 build volume, try to make the build volume to size ratio as good as possibleby karl0508 - CoreXY Machines
Quoteo_lampe Quoteadambrum I would keep away from fireline especially on a small printer, the line tends to walk on the drive pulley which alter the length I posted a 'crossed' version of line pulleys, which eliminates the length-issue. Could you please share me a link? this would allow the lines to be closer than 13 mm which the belts have as a gap, this would reduce overall foot printby karl0508 - CoreXY Machines
whats the blackbelt version of cura like? Was looking at a printrbelt and can't see why we couldn't use that version of Cura for itby karl0508 - CoreXY Machines
Could do what E3D have done and use an extra idler to bring the belts together. The problem i always have with small printers is because we still use Nema 17 the mechanics still have to be so large, nema 14 would be better as they would take less percentage away from the print area. Suppose thats one of the advantages of ultimaker gantry as you can mount the motors is such a way you don't haveby karl0508 - CoreXY Machines
Perhaps a corexy machine like dice but using Fireline, would allow you go put idlers closer together, reduce the size of the XY joiner. Anything to reduce foot print, i could also look to make a single printable plate that all the mechanism mounts to. Sort of like the original CoreXY steel plateby karl0508 - CoreXY Machines
I wanted to try make the smallest printer possible with a 150×150 build area to take traveling, i have the prusa so was thinking something smaller would be nice May even go belt on Z axis like the lulzbot mini 2by karl0508 - CoreXY Machines
So do you think at 150×150 corexy is worth it, or will a prusa style be just as good? Or even a deltaby karl0508 - CoreXY Machines
Hi Guys I currently have a Prusa I3 clone, i love it, i use a bowden extruder and use it for PLA and PETG I would now like to make a CoreXY machine of my own design, however because i have not got any experience with a CoreXY machine i would like some opinions. I plan on having a 150×150×150mm build area. So my biggest question is what are the advantage of the CoreXY vs the ultimaker gantry?by karl0508 - CoreXY Machines
