Oh ya. So do you guys remember a few years back when printers were all loud and people loaded gcode to make them kick out the Imperial March? If I wasn't running the silent tmc2208 drivers I Swear I would do that as soon as this was back together. This machine is gonna be radical..

this the one with hundreds of stepper motors ?

When I am done there will be 10 stepper motors driving this printer. And each motor will have it's own stepper driver so I will have 7 tmc2208 drivers and there are 3 drivers built into the MMU2S control board.

so why have you gone for the central bed support over the side supports ?

I mean it is a pretty substantial central support. But surely the side supports make a more stable bed ?

I am converting to all linear rails and guides for X, Y, and Z. I am also upgrading the front stepper motor on the Y axis to a full size stepper and have designed a new mount for it. Here is my current progress..

While this printer is down I am printing out all the parts I need with my failed 3 Color Mixing Printer, Printalicious. And these y end caps/ motor mounts are printed in petg and as the picture shows I have already revised this part from my original design..And before I even got the new part with more material installed I realized I need to make some sort of stop for the linear guides so they do not travel off the end of the rails. Back to the drawing board.

lol yeah that could be a problem :-)

3rd time's a charm. Got my motor mounts for Y designed and printed. I am happy with the results..

[AutoWiz]

Still a ways to go. And I am waiting on a set of 550mm linear rails for Y to arrive in the mail..
