No z endstops is easy and works great. The only thing about this one is your ending gcode needs to park the z axis at zmax, easy.
I want to see how the leveling grid looks after this print. I want to see if the wires give it that weird lean it had on the previous version at all. I highly doubt it will.
Yup, belted Z. This time also carrying the steppers, Repeat V2? - #30 by vicious1 so it gets to Z max pretty fast if the power is cut.
I keep getting it reversed when I manually move the bed. Zmin/max. I want to move the bed up and I increase the number…nope. grind grind grind.
I got a roll of TPU, have not used it in years. Printed perfectly, it doesn’t seem to like as steep of overhangs as PLA but I might just need to tune my temps. Last time I used TPU it took a lot of testing to get it right, I think the hemera really helps here, over a wades extruder. I got it to hopefully print some feet for the printer.
Neat and tidy! Can controller, and steppers be shielded from enclosure/heated chamber to enable usage at high temps without shortening electronics lifespan?
I am doing little things like putting the idler stand offs on all the parts. I think I am going to release them as is, meaning pretty blocky. So hopefully not too long now.
I do have my first real vacation planned next week so no promises of how much time I will have on this before then, but I am trying.
Swiss Z post print done. Posted close up viewing :
0.6mm nozzle, 0.32mm layer height, mostly stock Ender 3 Max, fresh Overture silky PLA. 60% infill, almost same profile used for LR3. Need to check if my screw drivers are skinny enough to fit the deeper holes.
Repeat V2 looks cool. Been wanting to build a more capable Core XY. Got Repeat V2’s goals (and non goals) listed somewhere? What would be a comparable commercial 3D printer?
@vicious1 I had bought rails, bed, octopus board, etc for repeat v1, but I didn’t get on it right away while my wife was pregnant with our first and since having her I haven’t touched it. Was just looking to get back into doing things with the parts and I’m seeing repeat v2. How close are we talking? No pressure as I really appreciate that you’re doing the hard design work here…
At this point I think I’m definitely going to wait. I bought a 300mm bed so it would be that size, I think the rails are 400mm and could be cut down.
