COREXY with an Ingentis frame. 24 x 24 x 24. Well the start of it anyways.
SWEET!
Nice, I’m glad more people are trying core xy, so I can learn from their experiences, and hopefully share mine… If I ever finish my stinking design
I am planning on using belts. I spose the spectra is good and several people have shown that but i just still feel kinda iffy about it.
I look forwards to seeing your progress and design. A few notes that may help:
Balancing belt tension between the two corexy belts can be finicky but VERY important in my opinion. Getting the x and y going in the right directions during startup takes the right combination of wiring on the stepper coils since the motors work together to produce motion. Calibrating x and y during test prints is confusing because each steppers independent motion is a 45deg coordinate transform from a standard Cartesian Printer.
Hey thanks and any other info you want to add anytime is very welcome. What did you use to get the tensions the same. On my Soli i have a weighted holder that hold coins. Hook it on the belt and see how far down it deflects in mm is how i can set both sides the same. With these belts being in a different direction that wont really work. i spose i could use a little pull type scale and take a reading that way.
If i get to stuck on calibrating the steppers i will hit you up later.
I meant to post this in Ingentis. Next time.
Cool. I think the ingentis is far less sensitive to belt tension imbalance.
So is the frame solid? I’m looking at an exterior dimension of about 18x18x24
Yes the frame is solid. i am not sure how to answer your question about a size you are looking for.
I was more interested in the rigidity, as the build box gets better, it’s bound to lose rigidity, but the Ingentis looks well designed to keep that from happening.
I can only say i will have a more realistic answer later on.
