Made By: @rrop

PS: its still pretty empty, gonna be adding stuf soon

Day 1

Research on feasibility, ideas, premade projects, and deciding goals, along with basic planning

Goals:

  • Can print high quality
  • Core XY
  • Can print pla, petg
  • Speed >300 mm/s
  • Build volume around 25 cm^3

Read up, watched many videos on how i could start with the design and building

Time: 4 hrs

Day 2

Figured out the basic design pattern i would follow, the various items i would need Did some feasibility research and figured out if my ideas would work Decided on a frame and structure, gonna figure out the tech parts of the BOM soon

  • Made design sketches, and found build plate and heatbed.
  • Also decided to use an aluminium plate bw the bed and pla support.
  • Also found rods, screws and decided on nema 17 motors.
  • Started with the BOM, although a lot of work is still to be done.

The plates are 310x310 mm, so thinking of keeping build volume around 300mm^3

Time: 8 hrs

Day 3

Worked further on my BOM

Figured out a way to prevent pla warping, but still pretty sure gonna print PETG for parts Also, found hotend and extruder. A BGM clone and a creality clone. Figured out hotend design as well, just the tech parts and psu is left. Should be able to get around 300mm/s speed. Soon gonna add the BOM. Honestly, finding parts has been supr painful. Lik srsly why are chinese stores banned in india :(. Gonna be using a boden setup, as dont really need to print flexible mats.

Time: 5 hrs (lik srsly, it took sooo long to find any good items)

Day 4

Finished my BOM, decided on all the parts I would need, and made some changes to previously selected parts so I can get about 500m/s print speed. Also made some basic design plans. Goona start cadding soon. This took way too much time.

Time: 7 hrs

Day 5

Decided to use an aluminium frame to get faster speeds, also 300x300 bed could cause wayyy to many issues on first time build, and cant find any close to 250, so gonna do 235x235 bed now, so changed BOM and re finalized it. Still gonna keep double z as i want to achieve high quality at faster speeds, so going to try to implement closed loop fixing for realtime z correction and print condition adjustment. Hopefully am able to mk smtg that can print high quality at 500+ speeds. Using cartographer with adxl345 so dont need piezo.

Time: 4 hrs

Total Time: 28 hrs
