One of the problems I ran into was that many of the frames use square corner brackets that don't have the clearance needed in order to mount the motor plate mount. The original motor plate had a 20mm cut out to seat in the corner of the frame. The plan is to have a platform or ecosystem of parts that can be used on any 3d printer that uses 2020 frame extrusion. I've been working on a modular and scalable corexy design called the SolidCore for over a year now. One Motor Moves> Carriage Moves Diagonal.
Both Motors Move Opposite of Each Other> Carriage Moves Toward & Away.Both Motors Move Counter Clockwise> Carriage Moves Right.Both Motors Move Clockwise > Carriage Moves Left.
But this belt routing path would also mean that on one side of the gantry the belt would have the teeth on the side of the idler wheel which wouldn’t run as smooth and could lead to artifacts within printed parts. Belt PathĪ printer’s motors can be offset at different heights so that the belt routing runs a straight belt path and doesn't have to be twisted. If the two motors move opposite of each other the print head will move along the X-axis, If the two motors move in the same direction the carriage will move along the Y-axis. If you were to move just one motor you would see the print head move diagonal. The corexy kinematics is a complex motion system where X or Y motors move together or opposite of each other to move the carriage from left to right or towards or away. The major benefit of the design is that the motors remain in a static position. This means rapid acceleration because the two stepper motors provide a means of moving both axes independently or simultaneously. The corexy parallel kinematics mean's that the motors are the largest source of inertia within the system, and are stationary.
#Hypercube corexy update
I'll update the files when finished but there’s still a lot of work to be done.CoreXY Mechanism CoreXY Mechanism CoreXY Kinematics But after having trouble sourcing the belt that was the perfect length I decided to just go with three stepper motors similar to the HeVort printer or Jubilee tool changing corexy. Originally we were working on a design that used one single z-axis motor and a belt routing the three lead screws together in sync. We’re planning to use 3 z-axis stepper motors on the SolidCore printer. Each lead screw will be constrained by a MGN12 linear rail. Maarten van Lier’s corexy build Triple Independent Motors Z Axis Some had great communities that further developed the machine. This sacrificed the overall printer size to print volume ratio.Īfter searching the internet and studying every machine design that I could possibly find i begin to take note of the pros and cons of each motion system or platform. In order to have a solid enclosure design I had to move the motors inside the frame boundary. The overall footprint of the machine relative to print volume is somewhat excessive.
The left motor plates are going to be re-machined to give room for a tool changer setup. We’ll change that to 1/4 inch thick once we get more money. For example the bed is made from 3/8 inch thick aluminum that we robbed from an old printer. We’re working on a small budget lol which “recycling” parts from previous builds. I’m also considering making the carriage components and rail support one piece similar to the latest update on E3D’s Tool Changing printer. When I first designed the plates I thought it would look cool with the motors on top but after I machined everything I realized that moving the bed up and down could cause deflection in the main plates. We’ll probably make some changes such as reorienting the the y-axis linear rail into a vertical position similar to the RailCore, redesigning the carriages and motor/belt mounting plates where the z-axis motors are placed on the bottom of the machine.
