The Burning Cube

thingiverse

This is very much a work in progress. Don't waste materials trying to reproduce, as not all parts are on their final form yet. This isn't even my final form. I'm inspired by Tech2C's Hypercube, Scott_3D's Hypercube Evolution, and Creality's Ender 3 after two years of printing experience and reproducing projects like the Graber i3, delta Rostock, Prusa MK2X, Hypercube Evolution, and building a multitude of Ender 3s. I've decided it's time to build the one that I can put my signature on. Key features: -2020 and 2040 aluminum profiles with V-slot instead of heavy, expensive steel rods; -Belt and openbuilds wheels movement for smooth motion; -SRK gen L as main board for advanced functionality; -TMC2130 for quality of life improvements and sensorless homing capabilities; -300W Silicon heating pad on an SSR mains electricity source to speed up the process; -Cyclops hotend and dual bulldog extruder for hassle-free material switching; -BL-touch auto leveling for precise bed leveling without hardware modifications. Things to consider: MGN rails offer better performance, but come at a higher cost (US$200 per kit). If I made any mistakes, I'd end up with oversized or undersized rails and a hefty bill. I love my Ender 3, but needed a larger build plate, and my HEVO is reliable, but too noisy. A CR-10 is also an option, but at R$2500 I can build two Burning Cubes, plus coreXY printers are amazing. The name comes from combining the Ender 3 and hyperCube, not from the house fire I'll start when experimenting with SSR and mains electricity.
