Hypercube 300 CoreXY

thingiverse

The Hypercube 300 is an extensive remix of Tech2C's Hypercube CoreXY 3D Printer. My goal with this project was to create a low-cost, high-build-volume 3D printer that rivals the best, most expensive consumer printers in terms of print quality. I believe I achieved success. The printer can be built with top-quality components for less than $600 and with budget-conscious components for under $500. The Hypercube 300 boasts a true 300mm^3 build volume, allowing for successful prints right up to the limits in every axis. The initial print quality was outstanding and has only improved with basic tuning. To build this printer, you will need to download various parts from Tech2C's Hypercube Thingiverse page, including the X and Y motor mounts, belt idler bearing mounts, XY carriage, and hot end, fan, and probe components. I will update this post shortly with links to the files and quantities needed. As a regular member of the Hypercube CoreXY 3D Printer Group on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1871049783171141/), I can attest that it's a great community with knowledgeable folks who are always happy to help. Feel free to ask questions here or join the group for more assistance. I have made several updates to this project since its inception, including: * Switching from 10mm back to 8mm Y rods, which are stronger and lighter than their predecessors * Updating the XY joiner and bearing cap to make them stronger, lighter, and more visually appealing * Tweaking the bearing cap's clamping mechanism to provide a better grip on bearings for users who opt for IGUS or printed solid bushings Additionally, I have added optional parts for 10mm Y rods after the BOM file in the things list. On October 8, 2017, I revised the XYJoiner and its bearing cap, as well as adding an integrated bearing cap/bushing for users who prefer to use a printed bushing instead of a LM8LUU bearing. On October 30, 2017, I revised all "Thing" names to better reflect their compatibility with various printers. Finally, on January 17, 2018, I updated all STL files to the latest versions, which include several improvements: * A new 12864 Enclosure with cutouts for an RPi3 adapter and spacers * Revised XY Motor mounts that are stronger and nicer-looking than their predecessors * Simplified RAMPS box design that prints 10 times faster * Optimized z bearing carriages for a 4-z-rod build * New bushings for the X carbon tubes that no longer require IGUS bushing On April 2, 2018, I made additional updates to strengthen lower Z rod mounts and improve the appearance, assembly, and print speed of the Z bearing carriages.
