QuorXZ: A String-driven, Core XZ 3D Printer

thingiverse

A 3D printer called Core-XZ is the inspiration behind the creation of QuorXZ. The design uses OpenBuilds' OpenRail, V-Slot, and V-Wheels systems. With an aluminum print bed measuring 200 X 200, the print volume reaches 200 X 186 X 200 when built with a standard build plate. A custom print bed design allows for a larger print volume of 200 X 230 X 200. The QuorXZ design is complete and a prototype has been successfully printed. The printer works exceptionally well. An update has been made to the QuorXZ files, including all necessary parts and OpenSCAD source code. A detailed bill-of-materials is also included. The QuorXZ project has been updated with new assembly instructions on OpenBuilds. A complete bill of materials can be found there, along with a "buy sheet" listing vendors for each part. The zip file previously uploaded to Thingiverse has been deleted due to outdated information. For those interested in building the QuorXZ, check out the OpenBuilds resource for more information. A separate extruder design is available on Thingiverse for use with the QuorXZ printer. Core-XZ firmware can be used with Marlin, Smoothie, and RepRap Duet systems. More details are available on a specific forum thread. Watch this video to see the QuorXZ in action.
