Re: Extra pulleys on a corexy - 4 months ago
Disclaimer: I am by no means knowledgeable on these things If you mean a beltpath like on the Ender-7 (see attachment) I can confirm after one year of heavy usage it works fine.by reaprap - CoreXY Machines

If you're familiar with Linux maybe look into Klipper, you should feel comfortable with it instantly, written in Python, configured via config file.by reaprap - CoreXY Machines
Belt connection on toolhead - 4 months ago
That guy here says it's better to have them all on one side: Yet, a lot of printers like the Ratrig V-core or VzBot have the belts arranged on the opposite sides on the toolhead. I'm wondering what are the differences?by reaprap - CoreXY Machines

Quotethe_digital_dentist What is the point of adding extra motors, unless you want to use motors that are insufficient to move the mechanism by themselves? And why would you want to do that? 1. Because the "virtual" beltlength decreases. Less belt-stretch and thus less ringing. You can make the printer larger without getting too much ringing. 2. Higher acceleration.

Interesting. How does it compare to the so called 'AWD' printers (4 motors, each on every corner) like the VzBot 330 AWD? Beltlength with these is the same, but 'virtual beltlength' (i.e. distance from motor driven pulley) decreases. I guess this AWD design should also be possible with your XrY design?by reaprap - CoreXY Machines
