Up and Running CoreXY!

Big update today! The Filameister design is finally built in real life and seems to run very well!

All the parts have finally arrived, the machining is done, and the XY portion is all wired up. This is a temporary acrylic prototype to discover any loose ends before final design modifications and the real build in aluminum.

Tested so far:

  • Duet3D Wifi - Huge fan of the hardware and the web interface!
  • Linear bearings - we use these at work so I knew they would be great
  • 0.9deg NEMA17 stepper motors for higher mechanical resolution
  • Genuine Gates belts and pulleys.
  • Optical end of travel switches. Specifically SUNX PM-F24.
  • Fan ducts for hotend heatsink and part cooling
  • PT100 sensor for the hotend.
  • V6 hotend mount and heatsink ducting


Left:

  • Design Z axis and heated bed
  • Design electrical cabinet / wire routing
  • Wiring for hotend, fans, sensors, LEDs (pcb?)
  • Bracket for Bontech Extruder
  • Filament Reel Mount
  • Test polycarbonate fan ducts in close proximity to hotend for thermal issues (heat shield or insulation required?)
  • Finalize Z stroke and source Z axis leadscrew and bearings
  • Finalize enclosure size and panels
  • Source aluminum components
  • Build the final optimized printer design!

Here are some more various pictures of the progress:
