At the moment only as webcam server.

i forgot the plan

That's a lot of linear guide for the Z motion on the bed. I'd be a little concerned about negative effects of thermal expansion with that setup, but if it works, who am I to argue? I suppose that 3030 extrusion is going to be quite stable due to its larger size as well.
I'd probable also wire the emergency stop to interrupt the 24VDC instead of the 5V line. With the 24V line interrupted, that will stop all of the heaters and motors while still allowing a connection to the wifi. It will throw all kinds of errors, but in an emergency, that's still better, and has less of a chance of damaging the SD card.
I just finished my printer, but I'm already looking at planning the next one, and CoreXY looks like a winner to me for print speed, so I've been looking at people's designs, to see what I want to attempt to copy.

Regarding the thermal expansion, I can not say anything accurate (negative) at the moment - a complete enclosure for a heated chamber is one of the next steps and than this issue will show up properly.
The alignment of the many linear guides in Z has cost a lot of time, but the axis runs completely free of play and also quite easily - but with self-locking.
Sure overdimensioned for a 3D printer actually, but I would do it exactly the same again - at least I say that today ... and tomorrow: what I am interested in my talk of yesterday
-
I replaced the Piezo Orion with a Mini IR probe.
Reasons:
-
Reduce the distance between the nozzle and the guide to avoid / reduce eventual vibrations (free length of the lever)
-
Contactless scanning to save the nozzle (even if the Piezo Orion really worked very well)
-
At the moment I'm more interested in building than in printing
Here the results of measuring the bed corners - please note only the deviation, not the absolute values:
!the first 5 measuring points were with LED lighting of the bed, the 6 to 10 were without!As dc42 mentioned in a post, the resolution of the Z-axis must also be taken into account, i. in my case ball screw with pitch 4mm at 1.8 ° stepper motor -> 4.00mm / (360 ° / 1.8 °) = 0.02mm.
So I believe that the achieved accuracy or deviations of the individual measuring points is good enough - if not, then I ask for an objection.

Looks like a nice build. I would question the viability of 4 linear guides in the Z axis, especially if the chamber gets heated, but you'll know soon enough.
Does any air actually come out of the print cooling ducts/nozzles? Axial fans don't usually do well against back pressure that results from closing off one side.

Hi,
Very nice work.
Can you direct me to a resource (or can you explain) how to configure the firmware for two Z motors each having their own endstop switch?
Thanks.
Frederick
Printers: A FT-5 with the 713 upgrade bits, a custom MarkForged style, a small Utilmaker style, a small CoreXY from kit and a E3D MS/TC setup. Various hotends. Using Duets (2 and 3) running 3.4.6

Yes, at the Moment it is enough and no problem.

Hi Frederik,
I will Show you my config and homez files but at the end of the week because i am not at home

That would be grand. Thanks.

Now I could access my home network, below the files:
Attention, individual settings:
- Limit switch X -> min, Y -> min, Z -> max
- Installation of the two limit switches as Z-MAX and and finely aligned, so that the separate positioning (line 13 in homez.g) is not necessary for me - but can be aligned in the line exactly -> thus is an automatic heights - Alignment of the two nuts of the ball screw (Z-axis) given.
- Assignment of the two limit switches see my wiring diagram as already posted

Hi,
Thanks much.
I notice that you are using a number of G4 "dwell" commands - are they necessary?
I will have to give this dual endstop approach a try and see if it eliminates the manual "syncing" of the Z driver motors that I am doing now.

this is a habit of old times ... no idea if it works without it, but I think so
