This build is a continuation of my Posi-Drive Leveling series of printers. It uses one Z axis motor syncing two Z axis screws with a timing belt to produce a permanently level printer.
The Z axis runs on large Openbuilds wheels that are positioned with standard T Joining Plates. All metal parts are standard off-the-shelf items available through USA sourcing. Total cost (depending on source) $400.
PSU and KFB3.0 controller board box are attached to an 18" x 11" x 3/16" sheet of ABS attached to the bottom of the frame, consolidating the printer into a single unit that can be easily moved from location to location.
The Vulcan Pro has a print area of 12" x 12" x 15". By loosening 4 screws the entire Z and X axis sub-assembly can be disconnected from the Y axis and frame, allowing that sub-assembly to be laid upon the print bed, reducing shipping size to a 21" x 21" x 8" suitcase sized package for shipping. Re-assembly of the shipping package takes less that 10 minutes.
I plan on building this model in late Aug.
