The ShapeShifter Project

thingiverse

Construction play set for development of CoreXY printer with build volume capabilities extending up to 18 inches cubed. This innovative setup relies heavily on Makerslide components combined with 1/2 inch Schedule 40 PVC pipe. It is specifically recommended for advanced hobbyists whose projects necessitate non-standard build volumes. This project functions as a proof of concept, serving the purpose of experimental and informational objectives only. The foundational principles behind the CoreXY reference mechanism can be found here: http://corexy.com/theory.html Key Print Settings: - Rafts: No - Supports: Yes - Resolution: 0.2mm layer height - Infill: 50% Notable Details: * ABS is a necessary material for successful print completion. * All parts can be printed using any machine capable of producing build volumes equal to or greater than 4x4x4 inches. * Print settings include 2 perimeter layers, 4 bottom layers, and 4 top layers, completed at a speed of 60mm/sec. Post-print Processing: - To enhance part strength, apply acetone to the exterior of the printed components. - A great deal of time will be devoted to manually removing supports, with sandpaper being a valuable asset.
