Description
This started as an upgrade, now it is an entire new printer. While it is based on Hypercube evolution, and Seriously inspired on E3D Tool Changer printer, It is something else.
It is using 3x TW-04-09 from Igus and 3x TS-04-09 as linear guide. It is also compatible with MGN9 with small alterations.
The Iddlers are 2x F623ZZ mounted mirrored.
It has been designed to cut out of a 4mm aluminium sheet of 1000mm x 500mm.
24 units F623ZZ (ABEC3 or better)
8 units SK8 rod support (SK12 if your rods are 12mm)
4 round rods 8mm (you can use 12mm instead)
4 units LMK8LUU (LMK12LUU if your rods are 12mm)
2 Lead screw with backlash (you can use Ball screw if you have the $$ to it)
2 Linear guide TW-04-09 x 350mm (Or MGN9 350mm)
1 Linear guide TW-04-09 x 400mm (Or MGN9 400mm)
3 Linear Carriage TS-04-09 (Or MGN9H)
4 3030R 500mm Aluminum extrusion (you can use regular 3030, but the round one is pretier)
4 2020 380mm Aluminum extrusion
6 2020 420mm Aluminum extrusion
12 anchor connector for 2020 (you can use regular L brackets, but the connector are more stylish)
A bunch of screws that I have not counted yet.
I mounted the new lasercut parts. A few ajusts was necessary, So I posted a new DXF for the U cut. I had to remove 5 mm of each side to make it easier to mount and compatible with the MGN12 rail. But on the overall it is an amazing stability and stiffness. I am still waiting for the flanged LM8UU for the Z (as you can see on the pictures I've adapted some igus with tights. I hope the piece arrive this week so I can start testing with a real printing.
Our laser cut on steel is ready. Not we will paint it and install. The paint is to avoid rust, it is necessary, not only aestetics.

We are working on simplifying the screws holes so it can be milled faster/cheaper. We did a prototype in MDF and everything seams ok. Now we ordered some steal kits to efectively test it.
