I appreciate the continuous updates on projects like these! I had to reprint my MotoryXY and Bearing pieces as I printed them for 12mm walls and my 1/2 walls are really 12.8. Printing them with the 13mm walls got them close enough. I ended up getting my chassis together last night. I am going to put a small brace across the top front to help close and square it up. I also for some reason madby sethmo - Smart_Rap
I hate my Makibox printer so much. It seems like it will print great for a little while, then all of a sudden I get slop in the X-axis and it under extrudes even though it is calibrated and has a new nozzle. I printed the new Z slide yesterday, although it is an ugly print, it should get me by for right now. I am going to work on finishing up my cuts for the chassis and assemble it tonight.

Still having problems with my Makibox. I need to reprint the Z slide or file down the inside of the bearing holders so the bearings fit better. I just cut the smooth rods and test fit: (I Know my Z axis is upside down ) I am going to pick up my MDF today, so hopefully I can get a chassis together by tomorrow and test fit all my pieces.by sethmo - Smart_Rap

Oily Side (Cars\Engines\Welding\Metal) Dusty Side (Woodworking Stuff) and now what I call Fumey Side (3D Printers/Shapeoko/R/C Plane&Cars) Even then, I used Home Depots Cut service on the board for the Funbot. I only need a couple simple cuts and it was easier to load in the car. I think I will try Home Depot this time instead of Lowes. I driby sethmo - Smart_Rap
I guess I am your stereotypical American tool lover. I have a 24ftx30ft garage workshop with table saw with outfeed table, miter saw, bandsaw, and plenty of other power and hand tools, but if Lowes doesn't have any 2ftx4ft MDF sheets, I will have them cut a full sheet down for me. Lowes does have a panel saw, but their blade is always dull and does not give the best cuts.by sethmo - Smart_Rap
Slow progress, ran into some clogging issues with my current printer. Hopefully I can get it cleared up tonight, I only havery a few parts left to print. I couldn't find any 1/2"mdf at my local lumber yard so I am going to make a trip to Lowes today so I can get the chassis built this weekend. The new bed is almost as big as my old printer! Some parts layed out. Hotend parts.by sethmo - Smart_Rap
Ah, I didn't know Cura could do that, very handy! Thanks for the dimension tip, I am going to get some 1/2" MDF after work and I will use that on my first build.by sethmo - Smart_Rap
Yeah, I need to mirror them, I realized that after it was done printing lol. I now have a spare? I printed those for 6mm acrylic, which I am still debating on if I want to use. It would look cool, but might not be as rigid as 1/2" MDF and the acrylic would also cost an extra $70 or so. Is there any way to print only one part of the whole plate STL? The individual files is missing a part forby sethmo - Smart_Rap
I currently have a Makibox which I have upgraded enough over the past year to get good results, so I am using it to print out all the printed parts for the Smartcore. The plant is to build a 200x200x300 Smartcore with new parts, then work on a second larger smartcore using my current Makibox parts(D8 board, E3dv6 hotend, stepper motors, end stops, ect). I would like to make my second printer ouby sethmo - Smart_Rap
I am new to the RepRap / Core XY community, but I started to print out the parts on Jand's github. I have ordered some bearings, but need to look at ordering the electronics and rest of the parts. I will probably go with a bowden setup and get the extruder off of the hot end, possibly airtripper. I need to read through this thread and gather some more info. Parts I have printed so far:by sethmo - CoreXY Machines
