My Second build (in progress)
-
@Dad003 click on "one of these" in the post above. That guy has been selling the things via ebay for many years.
Your design may work, but look at all the parts and space required. The worm gear box with attached motor is as simple as it gets. -
@mrehorstdmd yea i understand that , but still after looking at that price , most of my component are readily available on amazon , other than the 2 side plates that need to be water jet cut for the final version it cost a fraction of that worm gear setup .
-
@Dad003 I thought you were trying to simplify the design. Never mind.
-
@mrehorstdmd kinda but I want to keep cost down as well . From my early calcul this will be an expansive build about 3000 to 5000 $ at least . Depending of material to enclose the full printer.

Z axis assembled, i have more aluminum extrusion on the way so i should be able to fully assemble the frames . still have many part to prints , to test
, -
frame 1/2 assembled .
-
main frame of the beast is mostly done , i need to add a bar or 2 in one spot and that will be it for that .
-
250mm print bed it is , it will use a silicon heater from keenovo with a voron cutout. Need to reprint gantry , did some change to make it smaller lighter .
-
i Went with the LDO , super power HT for my build , they have nice spec for a quick machine and 180C temp max and since they will sit outside the heated chamber we should have a good margin. pick up the 55mm shaft version as well so i could add an extra bearing to support the end .
-
slowly been working on it , here a little update , ive been slowly ordering part, thinking and designing more things .
