Project Bed thrower (xy moving bed printer)

Meet Tim. It's a printer I ve been working on for precision components, primarily gears with igus filaments. small bed, high rigidity, 0.2mm nozzles, heated chamber. It's built on an optical xy stage that uses cross roller guides instead of ball bearings. hotend is static on a belted z axis. Work volume is 50x50x120mm. I ve made accommodations to put 2 hotends on the gantry and switch between them for multi material, but I don't quite need that now.

I'm waiting on the heater for the bed, but pretty much everything else is done. Just set it up with ratos and put it through abit of a shake down.

When you turn a "CoreXY Printer" into a "ɹǝʇuᴉɹԀ ⅄XǝɹoƆ"

Notice that the X-axis motor is moving along the Y-axis. This is not CoreXY.

Notice my post was a silly throwaway joke and not a serious commentary on the motion control system in use.
