[razor81]

Has anyone thought about it? Repurposing the linear motion parts...
Anyone who knows me... Knows i have crazy ideas regarding cube3 ��

Love your worx razor81!

Im thinking of rebuilding one of the cubes to corexy... Using the frame as xy gantry... The z... Becomes y, the x going to be x on the y,
The frame mounted in a 4x3 1litre Cola Box and inside there the z mounted on 2 aditional rails...

Will take the White cube apart and play around on christmas break
Goal is to make IT print with 200mm/s
It could turn into an interesting project

Thats how its going to get mounted... _20201107_111433.JPG

Just Designed x axis gantry mount... _20201108_132658.JPG

Here is the Prototype...
Still need to make some tolerance for the pulleys _20201108_164952.JPG_20201108_165014.JPG_20201108_165031.JPG

Here is the belt path... _20201108_165633.jpg

So, redesigned the x mount with original idlers and tolerances,
Will order some belt and 4 aditional idlers...
Plan is to reuse the motors and an belt for z axis and rebuilding the hotend for proper cooling

Thanks... Im thinking about aditional Material thats going to be needed:
2 linear rails, or 4 8mm rods with lmuu8 bearings,
4 more idlers (i will reuse all the original ones)
A few metres of gt2 belt
Some screws and some printed parts
A 12x1litre Cola case(for the housing)
Optional anet 160x160 heatbed and coresponding Power supply
The y axis belt and Motor will be reused for the Z
Optional 2 full size nema 17 with bmg or titan style extruder

We will loose some of the xy printing area and gain on height at least i mean so if i dont find the way to mount the hotend turned 90°, so we have at the end one nozzle infront of the other

- - - - - - - - - -

Still in the planning stage, and my Main concern is the xy gantry for now... Should i print the hotend assembly in ABS or ASA?
The x axis holders with idlers are printed in PETG

- - - - - - - - - -

Does anyone have some step files of the cube3 head to use with original hotend?

- - - - - - - - - -

So xy gantry done... I now have enough clearance to use the whole bed size... _20201114_164401.jpg_20201114_164428.jpg_20201114_164447.jpg

Should i go with original hotend or a titan/v6 as direct drive?
Will loose the speed with v6 through...

- - - - - - - - - -

So i got to work on the corexy cube 3...
I have the corexy gantry finished... _20201129_143511.jpg_20201129_143531.jpg

Currently redesigning the xy pulleys Position, to get All belts parallel to axis
