Devlog #5
Hey so i got a few Hours in.
So i went on to add the 2 Nema 17 Motors For the Z axis movement for the Gantry.
Which didnt take much time since i already made the mount for it.
Then i was brain storming a design so that i can make the bed plate rise and also spin to simulate the C Plane(a.k.a the 5th axis).
Then made sketch of the design in my notebook but to make the bed plate and how high it should be i need to add the coreXY rails and its components so i can find my actual printable area so i can actually design the bed plate. So i made the linear rod for the 2 NEMA 17.
Then i discovered that i need to add another motor on the other side of the so i can move the Bed plate from the other side and its needs to stay still so I added a Geared NEMA 17 with a a decent mount so it can be still and stable.
Then i made the Guide rails for the the CoreXY and for the Geared NEMA 17.
To file the 9mm rail i need a slimmer profle so i switched some of my profiles to 2040 so i can still get the support and add the rails.
Then i made the rails and this took some time cuz was looking at its dimesions and the dimesnions sheet i had wasnt that good and i didnt wanna look for another one cuz idk why
(I didnt think about looking for another one :p)
And a small note i am using @panda ’s 3D printer as a reference cuz i think it looks cool and his Dev logs are pretty detailed.So for most parts am just reverse-engineering his 3D Printer while Incooperating my Ideas.
And if you happen to be my Reviewer just know that your project has been very helpful in my journey.
