CoreC - 3D PRINTER

thingiverse

This text appears to be a detailed description of a 3D printing machine called the CoreC, developed by Politronica and Ubiq. Here's a summary of the key points: **Machine Description** * The CoreC is a 3D printing machine with interchangeable plates that can produce objects up to 1800mm in height. * It uses four NEMA-17 stepper motors for movement and extrusion, with a minimum holding torque of 40Ncm (0.4Nm). * The machine has a bowden configuration and uses an E3D Titan extruder. **Electronics** * The CoreC uses a DuetWifi controller board with TMC stepper drivers to prevent step loss and enable silent printing. * The machine has several sensors, including: + Step loss sensor: detects motor currents and prevents step loss. + Power sensor: detects power loss and compensates with a UPS. + Tachometer Fan: prevents damage from stuck fans. + IR bed level sensor: ensures perfect leveling of the printing plate. + Bed plate sensor: alerts users to bad plate positioning during exchange. + Spool sensor: detects spool weight. **Software** * The CoreC uses an algorithm called 80/20, which predicts 20% of references that will generate 80% of sales and directs production towards them. * The "Ubique software" project is a cloud-based ecosystem that manages the production of 3D printed products in response to store sales. **Company Information** * Politronica is a company that develops additive manufacturing solutions for the retail sector. * Ubiq is a digitalization platform for production in the retail sector, using additive devices with FDM technology base and dedicated software. **Acknowledgments** * The CoreC was made possible thanks to the contribution of numerous individuals and Startupbootcamp Commerce Amsterdam.
