Sorry for the wait, still working on the BOM and specs. Taking longer than I thought due to all the iterations I went through. Trying to get...
Hi Bob, thanks for your interest! One mod I put on that I haven't added yet is a direct drive extruder. I found out I couldn't drive the filament...
Decided to try out a large print, Julia Vase from Thingiverse. Turned out pretty well, finishing up now. Here's a pic and video: [ATTACH] [MEDIA]
Well, having some issues with my z-axis. My steps/mm is calculated to be 2072 and wroks well on total z-height, since I home to the max endstop....
Here's a pic of the finished test print. Layers looked good, but could tell I was under extruding. Need to work on that but overall pretty happy...
Samson is now printing! Got the Bowden E3D lite working pretty well. Bought a 630 W 120v heat cable for the underside of my 1/8th" build plate....
I introduce you to my latest design, Samson. It is a CoreXY printer with moving build plate. This build gave me a chance to try out the 40 x 40...
Got all the mechanics wired up to my Ramps board and controller. Here's a pic: [ATTACH] Here's a video of the dry run, build plate not...
Got my parts in. CoreXY motors are mounted along with belts and stacked idlers. Just need to get limit switches mounted and my electronics and...
Hi Justin, That has been a concern of mine but I'm going to try it without modification first. I've tested it and saw no slipping. It's already...

After graduating, moving and finally settling in I have time to get back to this project. I've decided to abandon the XYZ gantry and combine this...
Nice build Keith, I'm a big fan of one z-axis motor driving multiple screws.
Love the build! Simple and rigid. Ever tried using one motor to drive two screws on the z-axis? It's clear you don't need to since you have...
lol, yea that's Stiff. There's a muscle man also, we call Biff. You gotta watch those two carefully
Merry Christmas to you Larry! Samson's been moved to my science classroom. Got it tore down. Gotta do some designing. Looking like I'm gonna...
Hi DocDawning, thank you! My Samson build has replaced this one, So I'll refer you to that one. I may still pursue this type of build in the future.
Hi Wombaticus, thanks for the comments! I've been slacking on this build. Yeah, I wasn't thinking when I put my Z-axis belt at top. I'm going...
I have a hard enough time soldering wires to endstops, can't imagine trying it with the little one, lol. I totally agree with you on our best...
