Devlog #9: Triple it and give it to the next person
WOW. This is genuinely one of the best checkpoints im at. i did not expect to be able to get here lol
so what i did:
TWO new hotends!!!
- bolt-on hotend and carriage: essentially a carriage that ditches the heavy servo and toolchanger for a more secure screw-on changer. This means you’ll be able to push feeds and speeds higher on this, and is especially useful if you’re doing single material prints.
- Lightspeed hotend (get it? its light and its fast lol): if your chasing true performance this genuinely might be your best bet. it ditches the large eddy probe for a sub-90 gram carriage, meaning you’ll be able to push this to the limit. Also, the Center of Gravity is a lot closer to the gantry meaning more control.
Updated gantry:
so I fixed the main issue with the gantry, being pulleys in the center. If theyre in the center, it ends up being very weird belt geometry wise due to how CoreXY is rigged, and as a result, had to make the gentry idlers side-agonistic, meaning the belt path will stay perfectly parallel to the gantry.
updated clamp plates:
these clamp plates ACTUALLY WORK!!! ikr ts so cool
