This is the MP3DP -Repeat- Milled/Printed 3D Printer "Repeat". This can be a fun project to use your new CNC mill for. This is my take on a CoreXY 3D printer, with a CNC mill friendly frame, or even an 20 series extrusion frame, options!
The Repeat is a whole new take from the previous two designs and I wanted to get a little experimental this time around in a few ways.
- CoreXY instead of a "bed slinger". After two fun ZenXY designs using CoreXY I think I have wrapped my head around the strengths and weaknesses of this geometry.
- More frame options, instead of just material and thickness, you can not opt to use 80 series extrusions instead of milled flat parts.
- Direct Belt Driven Z axis. The resolution is there, quiet, fewer unique parts.
- Hardware bed leveling (true bed leveling), and software (mesh leveling). Takes a bit longer to get started but flawless first layers are worth it. Time to make more accurate parts.
- Simple Universal tool plate. Mount any extruder, laser, dragknife, pen, etc...
- Carbon fiber and linear rails. Quiet, accurate, and light where it is needed. The larger the build the more noticeable the weight loss.
- CAD files are available! Edit it to your hearts content, this is an open design and is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.
- Very few unique printed parts, so editing is simple. 11(?), at last count.
