This is a reference build for the CoreXY Cube. It's a fast, scalable, high-quality printer that runs Sailfish, utilizes common Replicator Mightyboard clone electronics, and costs about $1000.
There are a number of CoreXY Cube builds "in the wild" now for this basic design, at least 6 that I know of (July 2014). Here's a few:http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:252041http://www.thingiverse.com/make:69062http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:313048https://www.flickr.com/photos/d-newman/sets/72157645313526624/
I've updated many of the parts and put together a BOM. But the base design is a mix of:
Ichibey's Sakura CoreCube Hbot modeling work
Jetguy's lasercutter templates and electrical / extruder configuration
DNewman's Sailfish programming for CoreXY gantries
Credit should go to the above -- I'm just assembling all the build files for everyone's convenience.
Printer size is flexible. With a 340x340x440mm (outside dimensions) Misumi frame kit, my usable build area is 212x,178y, 195z. Scaling Z just requires longer rods, Z screw, and 2020 pieces. Scaling X or Y will involve longer rods and belts, plus editing the lasercutter template for the bottom board. Not hard.
