SecSavr Simplex CoreXY 3D Printer [ARCHIVED]

Description

#This project started out as a conglomerate of thoughts. - Can I make a 3D Printer with a 3D printed frame that uses less than a spool of plastic? - Can I make a printer at the same price as an Ender 3 or Anet A8 using off-the-shelf parts? - Can I design a Core-XY printer without ever seeing one first hand? - Can I make a printer that looks good and with a high build volume to machine volume ratio? - Can I design a printer as fast as Dr Eggman can create robots? This is my first 3D printer from scratch, and I think that so far, the project is showing promise on all those questions (except maybe the last one). This printer uses Graphite Bushings for the smooth rods, a linear rail for the X axis, 32 bit SKR E3 with TMC2209 drivers and touchscreen and a theoretical build volume of 200x160x310mm. #Please like, comment or post a make! Support is always appreciated. #Timeline [¬ = Updated, + = Added, - = Removed] [June 24 2020] - Added Fusion 360 File - Added step file [Jan 1 2020] - Archived the SecSavr Simplex for the newly designed SecSavr Skyrise. [Nov 13 2019] - Updated a few things, such as the BOM - Changing the design so that it uses 700mm smooth rods and not 450mm smooth rods. - This uses more of the CR-10 build volume and increases the build volume of the Simplex to a spacious 200x190x570mm. [July 12 2019] - Early preview published on Thingiverse - [+] Interlocking test [July 1st 2019] - Project started #Specification ## Initial Specification - 24V electronics - Approx £160 expenses -- Excluding things I already have on-hand - Sensorless homing -- Thus TMC drivers - Heated bed - Larger than 150x150x200mm build volume - Less than 300x300x600mm frame dimensions - 1.75mm filament - Screen - Some sort of tile like material present --It's a SecSavr theme - Window - Wire management - PSU socket mounted so that printer can be flush with wall - CoreXY - No "If only I spent 5 quid extra" 's - SecSavr and kelvinA branding -- With the kelvinA branding being non-optional - Accessible by 2 sides - Motors concealed ##Design Induced Specification - Belt driven Z Axis ##Specification Changes - 13th Nov 2019: - Printable in a 300x300x400mm build area instead of the frame dimentions - Each frame half must be less than 500g ##Additional Considerations - Addressable LED lighting - Z axis using sensorless homing - XY steppers not sticking out #Material List (Estimated cost £200) [24V 4010 Fan](https://aliexpi.com/qtVv) [24V 4020 Blower](https://aliexpi.com/mMF2) [16T B3 Teeth Idler Pulley](https://aliexpi.com/d4w5) [16T B5 Teeth Pulley](https://aliexpi.com/6Q8U) [2 * 700mm Smooth Rods](https://aliexpi.com/lefT) [3 * 285mm Smooth Rods](https://aliexpi.com/4ftm) 3 * 23mm stepper motors and 1 stepper for the extruder 10m GT2 belt [MK8 Extruder](https://cutt.ly/NeAKmi4) [Creality Hotend](https://cutt.ly/reAKOae) [SKR Mini E3 With 2.4" TFT](https://cutt.ly/ceAKAfZ) [Heated Bed 214mm](https://cutt.ly/peAKS3A) Some £8 PLA or £12 PETG for the frame.
