I have spent a good chunk of the last 2 years tinkering and designing CoreXY 3D printers. I’m really proud to share my current printer, The BareXY, and bring you all along for some of the changes I’m planning on making in Version 2.
The BareXY is a completely open source CoreXY 3D printer. I have been running with the current design for over 6 months with great success and have distributed multiple kits. My design aims to achieve the best print quality obtainable with an FDM printer and do this at the lowest price. I’ve utilized the CoreXY motion system for it’s reduced moving mass, streamlined the design to reduce cost and complexity, and used authentic core components (E3D hotend, Bondtech extruder, Etc.).
I am really excited about the performance of my current design and to share the development of V2. I am more than happy to answer any questions! More to come soon.
That’s a nice clean design, I wish you the best with it. I can’t find anything about the build volume, though it looks comparable with Prusa. At the listed price, comparisons to Prusa seem inevitable. You have what is probably a more capable controller, but I see no control panel. It looks like getting everything flat and square may be a challenge. Do you think your print quality is enough better than Prusa’s, or are there other parts of ownership that you feel make your printer more compelling?
@Georg_Mill RepRapfirmware is the firmware on the DuetWifi board. Bare3D publishes downloadable configurations on their website for the specific implementation used as well as all the build and assembly instructions.
My intention with this posts was to gauge if there was any interest in my design. I’ve been working today to get these files in a format so that they are accessible. I just posted a full 3D model, STLs, and BOM here: https://www.bare3d.us/docs/
My goal is to be as transparent as possible in the future and help people use my design in their own custom builds. I realize at the time of this post it was not “open source”.
Thank you for all of the great content you’ve shared. I have learned a ton from you. I was trying to link to your channel. Would you like me to change the link?
@Dale_Dunn Thanks Dale! The build volume is 220x220x220mm. The coreXY motion system is the biggest differentiator. The minimized mass allows me to run with high accelerations and I’ve never been a fan of the bed moving in Y with a tall print on it as the Prusa style does. The kit also uses less “custom manufactured” parts so I think it is easier to modify/customize
@Leland_Crowther looks like a nice printer, great work! If you are looking for a single place to release documentation and 3d models, as well as collaborate with others on your project, please consider publishing to our platform http://wikifactory.com
