YAC (yet another cartesian)

thingiverse

30-06-2019: Working steadily, I've made significant revisions to the Z and X axes, completed electronic boxes, and uploaded a render to showcase progress. Hope to complete it soon to share all files. The project has exceeded my original expectations, so I've decided to change its name as well. My primary goal is straightforward - I wanted to create a cartesian-style setup using components I already own, which you can see in the render. The other pieces I've made are thoroughly tested and functioning properly. Stay tuned for updates! General Information ==================== To build the printer's frame, I used: * 2x 400mm 2040 * 4x 420mm 2040 * 3x 380mm 2020 The dimensions are up to you; I chose these because I previously owned them. Additionally, many angles are incorporated to secure all the extrusions together. Nuts are typically M4, except for linear rails that require M3 bolts and nuts. The Z frame is attached to the base with two Z motor mounts and secured in place by 17 M4 screws each. Although it hasn't been tested yet, I'm confident it will be incredibly strong. With these frame dimensions, you can easily reach a print surface of 310x310mm, probably 250mm on Z. PSU and electronics are screwed to the Z frame and frame bracket, as visible in the render. The electronic box itself is designed for SKR 1.3 but is also compatible with MKS GEN L, plus there's room to fit a raspberry pi 3B+, PT100 amplification board, 5V stepdown, and an external MOSFET for heated bed. I plan to add a nozzle wipe tool and LCD cover soon. Updates ==================== * 02-04-2019 Added: + .DXF file for aluminum cutting the bed support + frame bracket + PSU bracket and cover + Y endstop holder * 28-04-2019 Added foot STL
