Few printed parts and printed aluminum elements were used for the design for both the structural integrity and the carriage. The offer of the V-SLOT store includes, among others, 3D printers and frames for 3D printers based on V-SLOT aluminum profiles and classic structural aluminum. V-Core is a solid printer based on OpenBuilds components so that it is the most stable structure possible. It turns out that on the market there are not many structures that use the capabilities of the OpenBuilds system - so we decided to change it! CoreXY's increasingly popular design caught our attention among the DIY community. The creator of the V-Core project RatRig company is a valuable partner of our V-Slot company. Add electronics, a few printed parts and put it together to get started! The printer is designed to be scalable for your desired build area and can utilize high quality hotends with 16mm groove mounts such as E3D. at least 450x450x450mm.A set of high-quality parts that includes a frame, aluminum components and mechanical parts to build a COREXY printer. This is an all metal build using OpenBuilds V-Slot linear rails to produce a high quality and cost effective 3D printer. I realise I will need a rigid frame, and so most extrusion will be 40x20 piecesīy using 500mm uncut lengths, the build area on this machine is potentially quite large. The Y-axis will be the print bed and will run on smooth rods, this is purely for ease of set up and to keep costs down a bit. The X-axis will also use wheels on the extrusion, ran by a nema-17 on a belt. Dimensions: 20x20mm & 20x40mm Material: Aluminum Extrusion Compatibility: DIY 3D Printer Structure: V-Slot Frame Sturdiness: Strong and Rigid Precision. The Z-axis will be driven by a single nema-23 attached to 2 leadscrews, and guided by wheels on the extrusion. My idea is to take a prusa i3 and make it almost exclusively with 'off-the-shelf' 500mm lengths of extrusion. So, here is where V-slot extrusion comes into play! I don't own a lot of tools, so the build criteria is to be (relatively) cheap and use parts that can be bolted together easily. So, despite having never worked with 3D printers, I've opted to design and make my own.

I have nearly gone and bought a cheap kit multiple times, but each time I have to stop myself because I know for a fact that I'm basically going to rebuild it almost completely with upgrades.
