My First CoreXY

[curious aardvark]

Printalicious, has a ugly wooden frame

Say: classic, even retro - ebviromentally friendly, easy to work with.
But ugly ?
Never !
lol

Really interested to see what you make of the corexy system.
I'm still trying to get my head around how it works.
If you move the head diagonally - just one belt moves. If you move it side to side both move in opposite directions - and if you move back and forwards both move in the same direction (or vicey versa - I#m not in the workshop, so can't check).

What I'm waiting for is a corexy IDEX.
Just watching the 4 belts moving would keep me entranced permamently.
Can't see any reason it couldn't be done.

If it doesn't come as direct drive - it's an easy conversion and the etra weight shouldn't make any difference at all .
I just had to print a single bracket.

As far as a different print surface goes - polycarbonate prints happily on 85c and up.

Short of PEEK - not sure what you want to use that needs more than 120c (what most beds seem to go to now).
okay - re-reads post - what are you trying to print, that goes high enough to melt pei ?

A decent hi-temp hotend that could sustaion 300c would be nice and I might consider that at some point.

But you'll have a blast :-)

500x500x600 - that is a BIG beast.
Also currious to see what you think of the odd looking 'linear' ? rails.

Looking at the listing - claims to have a 3 year warranty.
Are we believing this ? ;-)

One description I love: 'building materials: aluminium and metal'
So aluminium AND metal !
Cor ;-)
