DepotCube CoreXY - prusa i2 parts

thingiverse

I am constructing a 3D printer build envelope using the majority of hardware components from my Prusa i2, which features smooth rods, bearings, threaded rod, and other vital parts. This setup provides a workable area of approximately 268x290x260 millimeters (200x200 millimeters for the standard bed). The dimensions can be easily scaled to suit various requirements based on the length of smooth rods used. I have designed a cantilevered z-axis with a counterbalanced load mechanism that moves along with the z-axis, resulting in enhanced stability and reduced wear. The design features a CoreXY non-crossing belt system, which ensures that both belts operate at equal lengths without causing unnecessary stress or damage. Additionally, it incorporates a Bowden tube-based system for added functionality. To provide an enclosed environment, I am building a wooden case using designs available on the internet; I have included downloadable files to help others create their own. The printer features integrated X-axis and Z-axis endstop mounts along with Y-axis attachments that can be found in my thingiverse profile. For a seamless experience, you'll require hardware such as threaded rods and various other materials listed below: A few crucial components needed are the 427mm and 401mm threaded rods (available from your local machine shop), two Bottom Corners A & B (print them twice) along with all remaining pieces. Some additional hardware to obtain if already possessing a Prusa i2 includes: 10 extra bearings, self-tightening bolts of M3/Metric equivalent size, 40 bolts and their matching nuts for secure tightening purposes plus Acetone/ABS Adhesive to join necessary parts together. For smoother movement, consider printing 4 pieces with bore GT2 Pulleys and attaching 20 Teeth, two longer belts with total lengths over 1 meter in combination. To wrap around closed loops efficiently, purchase or fabricate the necessary pulleys that work harmoniously as well.
