Hi,
Created this post to present the corexy printer i actually building.
The printer is called G&C Printer, stand for Good and Cheap Printer.
My main goal is to build a fast and good quality printer under 500€. Is actual total cost is 490€.
For the corexy mechanism i used the one created by zelogik (http://forums.reprap.org/read.php?397,297740,page=1), but with the pieces pla printed. used this x,y axis mechanism because in think is very good and well design.
The Z axis and structure is of my design, the z is all aluminium and use one pla piece to connect the z screw to bed structure.
The printer size is 40x40x52cm and is print volume is 20x20x26cm. All the structure is made of aluminium and each side was 4 2020 extrusion bars to have a super rigid frame.
To reduce the cost of the printer i have a lot of hardware buy in ebay (made in china), but all the component that could affect the final printing quality are good quality (hotend E3d v6, linear movement components, main structure)
The printer has 6 endstops, each axis have an min and max endstop. I added the 3 extra max endstop because in the past i have several crash when i do some testing or when i forget homing. In theory only 3 endstop is enough, but shit Happens..
