Core XY printer

Currently there is a hype in changing a FDM printers into a multi print head system, like ZGE Mark2. With my Ultimaker 2+ this is quite challenging:

  • The Ultimaker XY system is quite robust, but is lacking space for more then 2 print heads.

A core XY setup could be organized different, so one side of the printer is completely open.

The next challenge:

  • Keep same printer workspace,
  • Should fit in current housing.

After many design iterations, it was time to ‘upgrade’ the printer:

Core XY, inside UM2 printer

Conclusions

Core XY will fit inside a standard UM2 printer.

The printer did work, printing a 24 hours print with ABS.

I did try some print head exchange possibilities, but never finished that.
