done with the cad

HI! im finally done with the cad. next steps are to make the BOM and readme. they should be done pretty fast. anyways heres the printer. to mount the fan mount to the toolhead i will be using heatinserts 3x5mm.

toolhead

so i finished a prototype of the toolhead. here is is with most bottom location:


edit: im done with the printer. i just need to edit repo and edit all the 3d printed parts to refine them. and ill add the conveyor of z axis thr.

toolhead

sup. i started with toolhead stuff. so like i will be using e3d with the fan. for support, there will be linear rail(mgn12c) on top and linear shaft(5mmthick). this screenshot demonstrates this config.

i will fit a lm5uu in the 3d print.


the belts will be tied with a zip tie and a 3d printed clip.

i wanna use a 5015 fan but im very confused, i have no idea where to put the fan.

maybe ill try mounting to the side. smtn like this

cad

hi! i couldnt post for some time cuz im working on my other 3d printer (almst done, i forgot to order heatbed thermistor). anyways, im done with like 80% of this printer i think. im done with belt routing and all.

also designed some 3d printer parts








also belted this

i just have the toolhead left..

pulley system.

i started making some of the 3d printed parts.



very basic design





here i designed the xy system, the xy gantry thing, the xy motor mounts and the pulley bracket thing.

3d modelling

hello! here i have understood more about the printer by actually making the 3d model. here is what it looks like for now.

we will have 2 3d printed cylinders, 300mm long (maybe 1 or 2 mm more) with a 7.9mm hole in the centre. so we wil fit a linear rod through that hole. we will put the 60t pulley in that rod. also at the end of those, we will have kfl08 bearings.


the blue thing is the heatbed, which is 300x300mm. i also need to modify the toolhead.

after making the conveyor i will start designing the 3d printed parts. for now im done with these stands

research

researched about belt:

so smtn like this. cylinder should be 3d printed. and it uses gt2 belt and motor has 12t pulley, and the cylinder has a pulley with 60t, effectively giving us a 5:1 gear reduction between the motor and the conveyor roller. and if we have to join belts, this tutorial is excellent.

started with the design

Hi! so i started with researching about the printer. so what im gonna do is follow a corexy xy thing from my other printers. and for the conveyor, the heatbed im gonna be using will be 235x235. so the conveyor will move by 2 cylindrical thingeys, one of them controlled by a nema17hs4401. im gonna make the frame using 2020 alu extrusion. anyways, the headbed will be placed a bit higher than the conveyor cylinders.
i need to research about the conveyor belt material and stuff, and also about the firmware.

decided idea

Idea: Infinity conveyor printer

I wanna make my own 3D printer that can print forever, kinda like the Creality CR-30.

I also want it to have an AMS so it can switch between colors or materials automatically.
