I think this is the Alumimaker 2 design that won that Misumi contest a month ago.
this is probably a naive statement by me, but it looks like they just grabbed the eustathios design…
I don’t like it, coexy never were at the top of the list in an engineering aspect.
This isn’t a corexy machine.
Oh? Hah even 4 eyes on a small smartphone can’t see very well.
Good lord, its the guts of a UM2 transplanted into an extrusion based frame lock stock and print head.
So much for thinking out of the box 
@Seth_Messer It’s actually the opposite. The Eust is derived from this particular design. @Mutley3D My thoughts exactly! But hey, it prob half the cost of the real deal heh.
woah, I just noticed that the Eustatios wasn’t CoreXY… always think it was!
@Isaac_Arciaga No, i mean it IS Actually the full guts ripped out of a UM2. The print head appears to be an original spec item, check the base ali parts of the print head, these are not available apart from Ultimaker, also the belt clamps are UM2 original injection moulded pieces. They have even kept the black spacers on the ends of the shafts that position the pulleys, and used the LED strips lol. Id say this would cost the price of a UM2 + it’s shipping cost + cost of extrusions.
Not sure I could do this and pass it off as my design in a competition. I may be wrong though, happy to eat my hat
Afterall they didnt use the UM2 fan assembly on the print head, and they did remount the motors for direct drive. Maybe that was the whole objective to transplant the UM2.
Yes, it does use a lot of UM2 parts, which seems a bit of an odd choice. The BOM for this machine was supposedly $1300. I expect UM2 BOM is less just because of economies of scale. Those extrusions & hardware to assemble the extrusion frame costs a lot more than the UM2 panels, but 6mm sandwich panel is harder to find, and it requires a CNC router to cut the panels.
yea and you dont get those parts unless you buy a UM2 lol, its bizzare. I cant see Ultimaker selling those parts as a partial kit either.
Its no more a rip from the UM than the rest of the designs from this group…kinda funny these stones being thrown.
@Robert_Burns actually not throwing stones, and it is quite a different rip from the rest, designs in this group are iterations. Throwing stones was not the intent.
Everyone play nice. It is well built, and someone without a printer could build one (I think, or at least get things functional to print remaining parts).
Nice looking printer.
Agreed its not bad looking, well presented. Apologies if my tone seemed harsh or if anyone was offended. Was simply stating what i could see. Creating an extrusion based equivalent of a UM2 is not a bad way to go, thats why i like this group as it is close to that theme
