Alchemy_Mini_Direct_Drive

prusaprinters

This is the first rendition of the Alchemy_Mini_DD. This system's initial design is based on the Voron Jetpack motion components.Creation of this system was inspired by the lack of existing direct drive solutions on the market and in maker space which compare with the likes of the E3D Hemera and BIQU H2, etc. Units that we as individuals, can create and assemble, from available or owned materials. Most solutions available to makers are gaudy, over sized, and overweight. These negative traits have undesirable side effects when printing creating quality and speed concerns.Much has changed in this system from its inspirational original product at the Voron project, simply put... everything changed and it really is not the same unit. However I would like to extend a special thanks to the Voron group for their inspiration on this product and initial designs that made all of this possible so you and I can enjoy such things. Please take a moment if you are not familiar with the Voron project to educate yourself on the hard work they commit to the makerspace. https://vorondesign.com/This product's initial design is centered around using with one of the most popular printers available today, the Creality Ender. Its designed to work with the stock bolting pattern of the system. In the very near future, additional models of this will be released to facilitate mounting on other popular systems available today, as well as variations of the system to provide more hotend compatibility. Upcoming target printers include Prusa, Artillery, Tevo, etc. As the product evolves so will each variation.You can follow development of this project and find the BOM on my Github, or my discord.  If you need assistance please join the community discord.  Otherwise, you can also follow a project creating an all new 3D printer to be open source released at a future date on my discord. Github: (Get BOM and STEP files here)https://github.com/AlchemicalPrinters/BETA_Alchemy_Rotational_BowdenDiscord: (Get support or follow the development of an all new printer here)https://discord.gg/aE49DW2xXe PRINT SETTINGSMaterials - ABS/ASA (Note: The parts are designed accounting for shrinkage of ASA & ABS, other filament types may or may not work.)Layer Height - 0.20Extrusion Width - Forced 0.4mInfil Percentage - 40%+Infil Type - Grid, Honeycomb, Triangle, or CubicTop/Bottom Wall Count - 4Perimeter Count - 4
