I have never had a print cooler on my printer before & finally decided to design one after not finding one that would work for me. Teaching Tech...
It will get bigger eventually. I find it easier to play with different ideas while it is still a manageable size. Thanks for the video link. I...
Here is my latest video. I am using all the new parts except the Carriage motor mount and I couldn't use that because my belts were not quite...
Glad you found a solution to the problem. It has been quite a while since I have looked at this design, so I would need a photo or two to see...
Since I will have a few extra O-Rings after getting a pack of 50 from Grainger, I decided to look at using 4 O-Rings on each wheel with the belt...
I changed the Carriage Idler mount & the carriage belt clamps to the new versions, but belt was not long enough to add the new motor end mount. I...
That Idler mounted off the back worked pretty good, so on to the next changes. I am going incorporate the Carriage Limit switch with the Idler...
The tread on the tires didn't seem to help much. I only changed the outer tires so I wouldn't have to take the wheels off. This morning I...

Here are 2 videos using the TPU 3d printed tires. The 2nd video has added rubber bands added around the outside tires. One rubber band fell off...
I made some fatter TPU tires that seat into the O-Ring grooves. They are a tight fit & looked promising. I pinched my finger getting one of them...

I was thinking the other day that it is too bad this machine would not be accurate enough to make a rolling 3d printer as the wheels will get off...
I finally put all the data together. Here is the thingiverse link for this build. Rolling Plotter with lots of Possibilities by GeoDave
Here is an interesting way to make a closed loop belt from a linear belt that just popped up on hackaday. Stitching Up Custom Belts
Not sure how I can use this feature, but had to see if Klipper would let me move the plotter around an arc since it lets me set different...
I had a problem tuning in the steps per mm until I realized I am using 2 different drivers for the X-axis & klipper wants both of them defined. I...
I uploaded the Z-axis carriage mount to thingiverse here: Z-axis servo/Stepper motor Pen Plotter mount for V-Slot by GeoDave since it was a remix...
I attached the real 444mm GT2 closed loop belts today & they make the world of difference over the TPU 3d printed belts. I adjusted the steps per...
