Working on a 3D printer design, one that should appeal to the reprap and maker community
Design goals:
* Less vitamins (with a complete list of vitamins that work well, and pricing)
* Quick release with as many things as possible
* Consistent belt/carriage standard that won't change (I hope!)
* A variety of carriage designs, and hopefully a community following on the standard
Implemented features:
* Use of ACME 8mm leadscrews
* Any tooth 6mm wide belt support
* Tool-less belt removal
* Carriage mounts to the bushings without any screws or zip ties
* Support for the top bushing to be either 2xLM8UUs or 1xLML8UU
* Flat faced carriage for easier custom design
* Tool-less removal of carriage/belt tensioner (to encourage the printer to double as other CNC machines)
Planned features:
* Drag chain cable management
* Support for a specific controller, and cable-connector type
* Conveyor belt Y axis
* Heated chamber with external Z and Y steppers
* Compact tensioners on
