Well, still making progress on the big repstrap thing.

Well, still making progress on the big repstrap thing. Its coming along, but there isn’t much info out there on CoreXY design… I’m looking for fundamental stuff like which belts have to be parallel, sizes of idlers, if they can be different sizes or have to be the same, and if so, which ones? I’m gleaning what I can from photos and random bits on forums, but I’m forging ahead either way, so it will be a bit of trial-and-error or a lot.

Here’s a few pics of some stuff in mocking up, feel free to let me know your experiences if you’ve designed a CoreXY bot!

Look at my CoreXY printer there: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:313095

The files contain the original model in sketchup. You can measure your heart out on the model. Precision is set to 0.001mm
