SolidCore CoreXY Mechanism Kit

*For Complete Transparency* It’s been taking up to two months to ship out SolidCore Kits to the first users. The official release will be 5/4/21. We’ll make a production run of 10 -20 kits. We made some changes to almost every part of the machine. It’s going to cost more but it will be a solid design. We’re expecting the next batch to take four weeks to ship but last time we said that it took two months. The release of the SolidCore Printer is also slowing down delivery dates of the WorkHorse Printer kits. WorkHorse kits are currently shipping four weeks from the order. There has also been updates to the WorkHorse design.

Yes we know the PayPal Buy isn’t working.

Due to longer than expected shipping dates we are no longer taking orders until 4/30/21. Then we are going to open up to take 10-20 kit orders. email 3ddistributed@gmail.com to get your order in Queue.

Kit Options

Belt Path

A printer’s motors can be offset at different heights so that the belt routing runs a straight belt path and don’t have to be twisted. But this belt routing path would also mean that on one side of the gantry the belt would have the teeth on the side of the idler wheel which wouldn’t run as smooth and could lead to artifacts within printed parts.

Mechanical Arrangement

The crossed belts configuration found on the SolidCore  y-axis must be completely perpendicular to each other to prevent any mechanical binding.

Linear Rail: Supported vs Unsupported

A crossbar made from u-shaped aluminum extrusion is used as a support for the linear rails. Depending on the rail length if the  y-axis has an unsupported linear rail it could possibly lead to deflection. The load of the belt paths have to be balanced along the running plane with the pulleys. An unbalanced load can lead to the belts trying to slip off the pulleys and premature wear of the bearings.

Linear Rails

The standard SolidCore design uses MGN12 Type H linear rails.
