New project
CoreXY Yesssss.
Z axis cantilever needs a wider bearing spacing to keep from wrenching the bearings and bouncing like a diving board. Probably also need a diagonal brace along the X axis to keep the frame from wobbling in that direction.
thanks for the advice, it is still in the beta phase I’ll still make changes, it is with a rod because the customer (friend) wants to spend a little money
Some designs worth looking at for ideas:
hypercube looks really nice - any idea how it compares to a c-bot/d-bot?
Hypercube Evolution is pretty good. I don’t care for the original Hypercube all that much. Whether you prefer that or a C/D-Bot depends on whether you want to use round rods or wheels on extrusion. Wheels on extrusion is going to scale up better at larger printer sizes, but they’re both fine around ~200mm cube build volume.
@Ryan_Carlyle there are 2 things i am after (and so far failed to find): quiet printer and high speed.
@Ryan_Carlyle I followed your advice I widened z guides
what do you think so?
To be safe you want the bearing spacing to be 1/4 of the distance the cantilever sticks out from the Z rods.
Spacing of bearings along the Z rods, I mean.
I say go for aluminium extrusion as the current frame with bars is going to be impossible the square.
@Cristian_Nicola Eustathios (with raps128 drivers) is quiet and fast but not coreXY…
