First of all, thank you both for replying. I looked at the CoreXY and the HBot designs and those were quite interesting. Is there some specific reason why they aren't used more than say the Ultimaker style pulley and idler system? I can understand that the mechanics of the system is more complicated in the HBot design, especially with both the motors having to move simultanenously in opposite dby filippo - Reprappers
I am new to 3d printing and was investigating different reprap designs and trying to understand what current challenges repraps were facing. I was wondering a few things: 1. With regards to speed of fabrication, what is the limiting factors on the speed of printing? 2. I found that the Ultimaker is one of the best in terms of speed for a given precision; so what exactly about its design is soby filippo - Reprappers
