Description
Inspiration for the conversion has come from multiple sources such as (thank you all):
Switchwire - https://vorondesign.com/voron_switchwire
Enderwire - https://github.com/boubounokefalos/Ender_SW
So I'm calling my conversion 'enCore3XZ'
...however, I re-imagined (with no remixing involved) the printer conversion fully redesigning all the parts with the Smart Orbiter v3 in mind using Vectorworks 2025 & 2026.

Originally it was an Creality Ender3v2 printer. I modified it back in 2021/2 adding a second threaded Z axis lead screw and Z axis frame bracing swapping out the original hotend with a Micro Swiss full metal hotend, two 5020 blower fans on toolhead plus a BDsensor distance sensor in 2024.
Taking my time I have converted the little machine to a corexz with GT2 6mm reinforced belts, flange bearings, double linear rail for Y and Z and single linear rail for X, adding the Smart Orbiter v3 +SO3 toolboard, with a remote 7530 blower fan + the BD-sensorM distance sensor... ending up with a print area of x220, y215, z245.
All electronics contained within a case the printer is seated on.
This contains a BTT SKR 3, Klipper expander board, Sonoff R2 Basic wifi switch, RPI4 with a ATX-Raspi RC3 power switch controller, Mean Well 24v PSU. 4x 40mm fans, Fysetc 24v MOS module v1.0.
A BOM has not been produced, however if there is interest I could be persuaded.
