CUBETRIX IDEX ( DIY Sigma BCN3D Style 3D printer )

thingiverse

As you know, Cubetrix IDEX is one of the top 3D printers with an IDEX system (dual independent x-axis) and since it hit the market, I've always wanted to have one. Knowing the price, I decided to build a printer that had the same features or even improved some aspects. I named this Cubetrix IDEX printer. Current Printer Characteristics: The innovative Independent Double Extruder (IDEX) system allows two different materials or colors to be printed simultaneously. The idle head remains inactive, preventing molten plastic from dripping on the piece being printed. Simple Mode: Print with a single head either on the right or left side. Duplication Mode: Print the same model with both heads at the same time, doubling productive capacity. Mirror Mode: Prints the model and its symmetric part simultaneously, increasing iteration speed and reducing design times. Mode 2 Colors/Filaments: Print alternating two colors or use one head to build the piece and the other head to create supports with soluble filament or standard filament. Printing Options: USB connection, Wi-Fi connection (with a Wi-Fi module), from a USB drive, or from an SD card. Touchscreen LCD (3.5 inches): Print projects with the touch of your finger or configure the printer from the LCD. BondTech redesigned body system extruders (right and left extruder). Bowden Extrusion System with E3D Hotend (CR10 model). MGN12H Linear Rails on all axes. Printing Area: Single mode: 330x330x250mm, Mirror/Duplication or 2 colors mode: 160x330x250mm. Bltouch Auto-Leveling System Heated Bed: Aluminum Heated Bed or Silicone Heating Pad (Your Choice) Open Source (Marlin Firmware and LCD Firmware): As you already know from my other projects, I'm a big fan of the Open Source movement. In exchange for using this technology, I offer my projects for free so that the Open Source movement can continue to thrive and advance, making people more creative. Simplify3D Profiles: I've provided Simplify3D profiles for this printer to save you time setting it up and make sure you have all the necessary pieces of the puzzle.
