EleksMaker A3 Core XY rework

thingiverse

This is a DIY project using all electronic components from the EleksMaker A3. Was this necessary? Nope. So why then? 1) Planning on building a Core XY 3D printer, but not familiar with how Core XY works mechanically. Needed a project and had an EleksMaker A3, which leads to point 2. 2) Have an EleksMaker A3 and not too happy about the quality I was getting in the Y direction. Getting some strange wobble effect as if the two motors in the Y axis were out of step. You will need to print 2x X Gantry plates and 4x X Gantry GT2 clips. Extra parts needed: - 8x GT2 20T 3mm bore pulleys - 6x M3 nuts - 4x M3 bolt 30mm - 2x M3 bolt 50mm - 6m GT2 timing belt (more than you need, but I messed up the first time, so more is better). Got the GT2 locking mechanism from here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1438795. To get the electronics working, connect your machine to a PC. Start EleksCAM. Go to Settings. Click Select Machine. There will be four machines; select the EleksDraw (Top, second machine from left). Select Config. Make sure X-Rev and Y-Rev are selected. Pulse = 80 (XY), Accel = 200 (XY). Hit Save. And you are done. Enjoy. Machine in action: https://youtu.be/cNiUUzp_8KU. Update: August 13, 2019 - Made a few changes. Fixed a few manifold issues. Added Square Y Gantry for added stability. Big thanks to thehans (https://www.thingiverse.com/thehans/about) for bringing the issues to light. Go and check the fixes he implemented on his side (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3804715).
