This profile is awesome, I've been kicking around a design that this will be great for!
That's a good point, and that's one of my main concerns. Are you using one motor with the 4 leadscrews? I may design a belt path for 4 screws...
Thanks Tweakie! I'm excited to start building

This CoreXY build is based on another build I have on thingiverse called Core-T where I attempted to use ordinary t-slot extrusion for my frame...
Hi Keith, thanks! For that print my print speed was 40 mm/s, outer perimter 35mm/s, and infill at 70 mm/s. Had it printing decent, transported it...
I think it'll depend more on the play in the z-axis carriages. If the towers are rigid, and the wheels are tensioned well to the towers , you...
I wonder if the acceleration of the X/Y movements could cause z-wobble? I would think if the z carriages are tensioned well it'll be ok?
Nice work, you've captured what I've been thinking of doing for a while now! I like the idea of a fixed bed, especially for a large scale...
This is my first build with V-slot and I'm pretty pleased with it. I call this the CraneBot, due to it's resemblance of a crane. It's similar to...
It's finally printing! I'm pretty pleased with it. Need to do some fine tuning but it's running well. Here's a video of it printing: [MEDIA]...
Is there a big difference between 14 1/2 degree rack vs 20 degree? I noticed McMaster only carries the 14 1/2 with the pre-drilled holes and not...
Got the electronics wired and is working great. Most quiet printer I've ever built. Will get it pronting soon. Here's a video of first tests :...
Got my RAMPs board mounted and also redesigned my z-axis belt system. Made it more streamline by adding an additional plate to the carriage. I...
Got some work done on some new carriage plates. Since I don't have access to a CNC mill or waterjet, had to get creative and print off drill...
Will a machine made with the phenolic plates be able to mill aluminum as well as you have with the 6061 plates?
I think I was having the problem you mentioned. I found it was terribly hard to get the black brackets holding my wheels tight against the...
Hi Keith, thanks for the kind words! A normal Nema17 would definitely work well for the Z-axis, the only reason I chose a geared motor was to...
runninfarmer published a new build: A minimum parts build without sacrificing rigidity. Belt driven Z-axis Read more about this build...
No problem, sorry I misunderstood. I've never used servos so they might be worth investigating. Are they more or less expensive? That's one of...
