Hydra devlog 1

Currently drawing the design of where I want everything to go.

General ideas

triple belted z axis
mgn9 rails for x and y
corexy gantry for high speeds
wooden, markerboard enclosure due to ease of lasercutting and low price
I plan on taking an unusual approach by putting the x and y axis motors in the front along the with the belt tensioners
will be printed mostly in carbon fiber petg
electronics will be mounted and arrraged neatly in bottom compartment

what next

I want to start assembling a basic frame from the old aluminum extrusions to model from and test with, using pla for initial prints

I hope at the end of this project I can build a printer that is more reliable than its predecessors
