I have always wanted to build myself a core xy, but I just dont have the space for another printer, especially one 500x500, which is what I would like.
Maybe one that turns into a coffee table when out of use would be ideal

Nice idea about the coffee table PaulJ_2.0. I have seen a picture on the web of someone installing one in their living room cabinets.
If you need someone with a CNC, I can put you in contact with someone that can make one off parts fairly reasonably priced, especially if you mention my name.Icky wrote: ↑Thu Sep 12, 2019 6:28 amLooking now at the parts and how they fit together. This is one of the motor drive blocks. I am in the process of getting some of the parts like this one made from aluminium to make sure the strength and minimal flex is priority on the X axis where the extended length is on the printer.

It's big enough now to be confused with the steel framework of an office block.
