My Upsized Ultimaker clone
-
Here is my latest printer.
It doesn't look that big until you realize thats a 7" PanelDue. Here it is next to my normal sized Ultimaker II clone.
Build area is 400x400x380. DuetWifi. Dual Z leadscrews. BLTouch probe. Titan extruder pushing through a bowden setup to and E3Dv6 hotend.
The tracks on the build plate are TPU. This machine handles TPU extremely well.The smaller UM2 clone was designed by jasonatepaint on Thingiverse. My larger one uses a few of his parts plus a bunch of parts of my own design.
The red printer barely seen to the right is another UM2 clone but it is running a RAMPS setup. That will soon (I hope) be replaced by another DuetWifi.

Looks nice!
If you have one motor per Z leadscrew, have you tried the bed levelling in firmware 1.10beta10 yet? See https://duet3d.com/wiki/Bed_levelling_using_multiple_independent_Z_motors.
-
Do you mean 1.19beta10? I'm running 1.18.1 now and use dual endstops for now but that does look interesting. I assume in the bed.g file, you run the mesh compensation after that?
Edit: updated current firmware
-
You can either run mesh compensation in bed.g after calibrating the leadscrews, or you can run it separately with G29.
-
Is that a design published somewhere that one could build? It looks like a nice candidate for a fully enclosed setup.
-
It mostly resides on my computer. The original that it was based on is this:

I built 2 of those before building the large version. I used several of the motion parts from that and several of my own designed parts.

Thanks. I'll look in to using that.

@CaLviNx:
Nice Printer, any link to where you got the Start/Stop button ?

I got it for another printer I was doing for my son but it was too large (I didn't properly read the specs). When I started this printer, I knew it would be perfect.
