A single aluminum square tube behind each linear rails could help a lot with rigidity, and it would cost next to nothing as well With that and a bowden setup I believe it could reach ridiculous acceleration and speed
Took me a second to see what was going on, but that’s actually pretty clever. Now it’s got me thinking about a system, similar with just having another set of rails on the other side with the belts extended all the way around.
Well it works quite reasonably. I'm not sure why you've chosen a dual cantilever design. Is it space saving or access? Ether way great stuff Personally i think, an Hbot style cantilever might work better. XY motors to the rear and Z rails 2/3rds to 3/4th to back (or where ever the average balance point would be). Does close off one side a little more but should keep access about the same. It would remove one brace and add four idler pulleys so no real weight changes.
The design had no specific purpose, just trying out something different. It might seem like a space saver on the first look, but print-part / printer-size ratio is not that good. However, placed on a desk, it feels so much smaller than an enclosed one. "Looking cool" is probably the biggest advantage of this printer. There is some magic when it prints.
I get it, yours printer reminds me core xy kinematics. On klipper you can expand printer capabilities for sensorless homing, input shaping and other nice features.
The version in video uses Arduino MEGA with RAMPS v1.6 running marlin firmware New iteration I'm currently working on is based on Manta M5P running klipper, which I definitely find to be a better alternative, but more expensive.
@@maks-i3b On the first iteration, I wasn't paying much attention to the hotend. I've replaced the original 35 W heater cartridge by 50 W one due to a broken cable. Heavy blobs seen on the second benchy may very likely be improved by tuning the extrusion. This printer won't reach extremely high printing speeds, so a high performance hotend won't bring much, I assume. Any advice on which hotend should I go with?
i love this and need more. Please turn your channel into you thinking of and testing novel 3d printer ideas. Heres an idea, a 3d printer that has 4 legs and a nozzle in the middle of the body where a belly button might be. Then you can have it print, maybe even crawls around and print. Heres another idea, a large scara 3d printer, like where the arm is 1 meter plus long. im a hardware guy, so i can design the items but cant code the software, so i have all these ideas but cant make them work.
it's an interesting concept, but it's one i don't find an actual point about... i mean, it's undeniably novel and cool looking, but compared to a cantilever i3 cartesian printer you're not reducing the footprint of the machine that much, and it loses for sure a lot of the rigidity that's exprected from a "cube" chassis printer i'd be glad if you could provide other infos about the machine aside from that, good job!

You just invented ultimaker
Very cool idea!
Just a thought: Look into preloaded bearings
Love to see more progress! Are you eventually going to trade that wood plate in favor of a 3d printed/cnc'd plate?
In this form it was flexing a lot, in the next iteration I'll try one fully 3d-printed.
@@CasualCNC As a bonus, it will be easier to make more without sacrificing consistency!
This is so amazing
Coming along nicely!
Could you make a dual nozle setup by having one "dock" by going into its corner and another coming from opposite side i wonder if thats possible
double up the supports, from all sides, but you dont have to motorize the other side
Interesting setup

This is really interesting can you share the STL files of your work progress?🙏 Im interested to build one i have all the parts needed for this design.
It is one of the best design good job 👍
Very cool project, are this 3D printer running on klipper software? and is running on a default cartesian kinematics?
It is default cartesian running on Marlin in this video. Next iteration will use klipper, HW is underway.
I get it, yours printer reminds me core xy kinematics. On klipper you can expand printer capabilities for sensorless homing, input shaping and other nice features.
I love this project, is it gonna be open scource, if so then when is it gonna release.
I haven't decided on that yet.
Why would you want to make one anyways, it's a gimmick design
Super spannend - weiter so!
Danke! Die zweite Iteration ist unterwegs und ich hoffe auf spürbare Verbesserung.
Build series?
Is it a cnc shield? And are there any alternatives?

It’s a CoreXY sliced inhalf…
Nice! 👍
Impresionante
Coll design, what hotend are you using?
At the moment it is a really cheap one: DollaTek Metal J-Kopf V6
@@CasualCNC Ok, so it's a v3d V6 clone. How do you think how will ender 3 style hotend perform there?

aside from that, good job!
its stupid just use normal cartesian and save 2 linear rails
