InDoreXY - A large scale CoreXY style printer just 'small' enough to get in through doorways. (Get it?) My goal was to design a large 3D printer,...
"All that said, I'm an IT professional, not an engineer (although I know some engineers), so you shouldn't do anything based on my say-so alone....
You bring up a lot of good points. I'm pretty set on a 1500mm height, 1230mm Z-build height. This will allow me to print wind turbine blades in...
I feel like lead screws, esp 4, wouldn't allow the bed to fall at all like belt driven z axis would do. Is this a problem if ball screws?Another...
Yea it does. If budget isn't a big deal for you, maybe go with 4040 uprights. I'm on a much tighter budget than you do I'm going with 2040 and am...
You shouldn't need anti backlash nuts for z axis. I'm not planning on using them either. Just don't fully counterbalance the bed, leave a pound...
oops, Idlers is what I meant. I always called them "idler pulley" instead of "idler wheel".
Gotcha. I was actually looking at it because I was hoping you found some GT3 pulley's since I couldn't find any either and was thinking of using...
I noticed in your parts list that you are using all smooth idler pulleys. Aren't you worried about belt life and mushing the teeth? It's...
I was thinking of a similar thing you are doing with the cork for insulation. Are you worried at all that this may allow the bed to become uneven...
looks like you have something started. any more pictures?
This is huuuuge. Hope you have room for it! Sounds like a fun project. Have you gotten a parts list together for it?
Also I feel like, especially with a counterweighted bed, you should be able to use 12mm lead screws. I ran an Ansys analys on qty 3x 12mm screws...
Go 1500mm height! That's what I'm planning to do! Get longer lead screws from here: Buy Precision Components - AccuGroup. They are even at very...
Are you worried about z-wobble with the lead screws? how do you plan to correct for this, if at all?
What made you decide to "upgrade" to belt driven z-axis? I'm trying to make this decision now and like the precision of lead screws, but i know...
<3 Yes! Now I just to source that build plate. probably start looking around junkyards/recycle centers this week or next. Another thought I...
Also, anyone have any other thoughts or concerns about this build? My biggest concerns currently are: A) how flimsy the V6 hotend looks in the...
I attached an excel sheet with my BOM and prices. I could use help reducing the costs. Does anyone see any place to save some money? One option...
