[Swansea Hackspace] On train from London

ON 09:16, 9TH SEP 2014, CERI CLATWORTHY WROTE:

Thanks :)

this is my second go at building a CORE X-Y style printer, 
Formally a H-BOT design, (blue parts) that I started when Hackers was still in the university !!

The advantage (hopefully) is that there are two belts, one giver clockwise twist to the carriage,
the other gives CCW twist to the carriage - with the hot end attached.
-------------------------------------------
So Ceri, something like this is it?

What is the cost like?

Neil

------------------------
Hopefully, the two twisting forces will cancel each other out,
whereas on the H-BOT design, the twisting force is CW/CCW for +X/-X
therefore causing jamming !!

So far there are 7 parts, of which only 4 are unique.
excluding 1 part - repeated 8 times, which is a sleeve for some bearings, - not sure if I really need them, or if I can engineer them out ?

To design & print:

Dolly, with Hot-End mount, and belt tie-offs

Z upper mount, with Lead-screw stepper mount,
Z lower mount, with Lead-screw bushing,
Z carriage,
Table mount.

will use my extruder design : http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:292836 [2]

Tim counted the parts on our printer, and he lost count at 35 !!!!!

Cheers, and thanks for watching

Ceri

 it was a work in progress by Ceri, the top of a new 3d printer he is designing... I am sure he will explain in his own words when he gets online - but it is very clever, using two belts working in opposite directions to prevent skewing of the printer bed

 Thanks for the replies on printer viewing, I wont send any print jobs while Im not there. I dont know how to print while I am there yet so now chance of me even thinking about a remote job.

 I can see the bed light blonking away now, no jobs on though.

 What was that thing on the table earlier? Was it some kind of cnc or plotter?
