About to tackle building a Voron Trident 3D printer kit — a fully custom coreXY machine with a projected 30 + hour build ahead. 🛠️ Follow along with my blog post for photos, tips, and progress as I document the journey from box to first print!

This work by Dennis is amazing!

I think it's absolutely useful for 3D printing but we should also improve our designs to reduce variations. Yes this is possible given the current cost of DIY machines; some parts of the printer would become cheaper, while others would become more expensive. For example, CoreXY is a fairly inaccurate motion system, maintenance level is on the higher side and it uses a lot of parts. ⤵️

Hey #3dprinting community!

I'm running a sturdy #corexy printer I've build myself back in 2018. Currently, I'm thinking about replacing it. Since 2018, the market evolved and seems to come up with affordable quality builds, quality of life features, new capabilities (multicolor ...) and the need for less tinkering (I've kids now 😉). It seems like the more "integrated" systems don't play nice with my beloved #octoprint . Is it getting less relevant? What do you think?

Alrighty.

After dicking with #Klipper for two days, there's something wrong with the kinematics.

Being a Hybrid #CoreXY, my kinematics have a lot less people using them than a run of the mill CoreXY.

Hybrid CoreXY means that two steppers have to work together to make what might be a simple, lateral Y- toolhead move.

I am not an expert at #Klipper by any means, but I've noticed a couple instances when this seems to be true.

There's a small bump at homing (which could also be Klipper backing off, in case it was already flush with the sensor) but there is also an example near 0,0 when clicking the button to move Y, only moves the X stepper when it should move both.

This shouldn't happen. It needs to operate BOTH the X and Y steppers together to make that move. Even if it cannot move one (e.g. it's at the limit), it should then abort the move on the OTHER stepper. It should never move ONLY one when both are required.

So; After two days, it's back to #Marlin.

I just added up the price of making my own #CoreXY #3Dprinter.

it wasn't too bad, then I noticed that all the metal work had been deselected, once I added that back (spurt coffee.gif).

I'll just carry on with my #Ender3

A Review Of The Two Trees SK1

My journey into 3D printing started ten years ago with a Prusa clone I built from a kit, and has moved forward in fits and starts. Last year I decided to invest more into it, and now things have escalated yet again–for I have spent the past month testing the Two Trees SK1, a solid CoreXY machine tha(...)

Why is the belt moving up and down?

This is generally due to 4 things:
- Angular misalignment of the pulleys/idlers
- Parallel misalignment of the pulleys/idlers
- Belt quality, wear and type
- Pulleys/idlers quality and wear

It is also good to know that long belts have the teeth cut at a very small angle which could also increase this phenomena.
