#HYPERCUBE COREXY UPDATE#

If instead it is 90 degrees clockwise, you have a left-hand axis system, which will give you mirror-image prints. That is, looking down on the printer the +Y direction should be 90 degrees anticlockwise from the +X direction. Important: make sure that you have chosen a right-hand axis system. If it moves in the -X and +Y directions, change the S parameter in the M569 P1 command to S1. If the head moves diagonally in the +X and -Y directions, all is well. When you have the X motor moving correctly, test the Y motor by sending from the console: G91

If it moves towards +X and -Y, or towards -X and +Y, then either turn the power off and swap the X and Y motor connections, or use M584 in config.g to swap the X and Y motor drivers over. If it moves in the -X and -Y directions, change the S parameter to S1 in the M569 P0 command. If the head moves diagonally in the +X and +Y directions, all is well. Test for the correct X motor movement by sending these commands from the console: G91 So you can start with these M569 commands in config.g: M569 P0 S0 X motor runs forwards So the typical CoreXZ machine should be configured like this:įor Firmware earlier than 2.03 use: M667 S2 Z3 switch to CoreXZ mode and multiply motor movements by 3 for the Z axisįor Firmware 2.03 and later, use: M669 K2 Z3 switch to CoreXZ mode and multiply motor movements by 3 for the Z axisįor a CoreXY or H-Bot machine, RepRapFirmware assumes that the motor connected to the X motor output moves the head in the +X and +Y directions when it runs forwards, and that the Y motor moves the head in +X and -Y directions when it runs forwards. To allow for this, you can use X, Y and Z parameters to specify that the motor movements should be multiplied by the given factor when moving the specified axis. This is not always the case, for example a CoreXZ machine typically uses additional pulleys so that the Z axis moves only 1/3 of the amount of the X axis. X and Y for a CoreXY machine) move equal amounts when just one motor turns. Use S1 for CoreXY, S2 for CoreXZ, and S3 for CoreYZ.įor Firmware 2.03 and later, use: M669 K1 switch to CoreXY modeīy default, the firmware assumes that the paired axes (e.g.

The start includes a short extrude in the front left corner to prime the extruder before printing.To switch the firmware to CoreXY mode, add this command to the movement section:įor Firmware earlier than 2.03 use: M667 S1 switch to CoreXY mode I added a zero position of the extruder and that fixed it. The extruder was sometimes moving backwards.

Update : I was having problems with the prime of the extruder in the start script. If you find things I could have done better, let me know and I'll fix them and keep this 'thing' updated with the best and latest. Coincidentally reprapalgarve was working on a coreXY project and when we saw Vulcanus V1 we immediately jumped on to the wagon. You can easily change this script to suit your needs. Vulcanus MAX - CoreXY Aluminum Frame 3D Printer Scale UP: On vulcaman published the Vulcanus V1 3D printer on his instructables channel. The start script homes the printer and then extrudes a 40 mm bead in the front left corner to prime the filament flow. To save a FFF file you must export it.īe sure to enter the correct build size for your printer and check parameters like the extruder nozzle size and desired temperatures. If you make changes to the Factory file, you may save it on your disc. Import the FFF which describes the printer parameters. They aren't perfect but they are a good starting point for the HypeCube Printer.

The belt arrangement on that printer was the neatest CoreXY arrangement that I have seen.

Attached are my Factory File and my FFF Printer File for the HyperCube. The HyperCube Evolution 3D Printer is a CoreXY printer inspired by the excellent HyperCube 3D Printer developed by Tech2C. I use Simplify 3D as my slicer and to control my HyperCube printer. (I was forced to have at least one STL file so I found a little frog like the one S3D uses for their website. This is just the configuration files for Simplify 3D users who want to use it with their HyperCube or CoreXY printers.
