The SimpleCore has a few advantages. First, it is a quite a bit cheaper if you dig in a bit deeper. The Trident costs you a couple hundred plus bucks just in shipping, you forgot to mention. The Trident comes with a hotend I would not want and the expensive choice of your bed heater does not compare well (quality wise) with the Trident either. More important however is the level of flexibility and engagement. With the SimpleCore I can play and change, improve and develop. I am the active part. The Trident design kit locks me in a lot more. It makes me the passive part, the screw together guy. Just match instruction pic with reality and you become the big printer builder. Does not go very deep, right? You mention blind joint connectors? Bolt them together and then check with a good square. Pain in the ass if you want to get a frame square and true and you will end up buying the face plates anyway. Congrats for going the simple way and thanks heaps for sharing, mate.
Thanks! I agree with your points, the trident however was 1300 shipped to my door so I did factor in shipping. But SimpleCore is still a nice option and it defiantly could be cheaper with a few changes! Thanks for the comment!
@@Rolohaun You are an inspiration and so is the SimpleCore. Keep it up. Am with Einstein on this: "the best solution is the simplest that works". But I would like to add that your personal engagement and your personal support make the SimpleCore the very best "simplest" solution.
Thanks so much for sharing the process and design! I imagine you've learned a lot! Are you still thinking of providing a full setup video for Klipper on this, or are you totally done with the SimpleCore. It's a bummer the prices weren't what you were expecting. I still like your design, and am thinking about building it. Will have to look at the Formbot Trident too. Dave
Very nice project and a great idea, of course the learning experience is a big plus. I think that with a simpler beed system 1 motor like vzbot and cheaper hotend you could reach 700$.

Very nice Project, I’m looking forward to building it! 👌🏻

@@aps3000miki thank you! Don't worry more videos of SimpleCore and other printers are coming!
Sadly, self sourcing components is WAY more expensive than buying kits. I have learnt this lesson the hard way.
yep totally agree

I have some klipper install videos already but I can make a video going over the config file of simplecore if you like

individually controlled steppers was a major design feature for me, I can see the savings would be there if I went to one z stepper
is there a way to do 250mm/s for rapid prototyping? I really want to build this
if you use a high flow hotend you should be able to do that on most CoreXY
Is this BOM still available someone where? Link is now to the Mrk 1.
there is a simplecore legacy folder in that link github.com/rolohaun/SimpleCore/tree/main/SimpleCore%20Legacy
