The original concept for Cuprite was an extremely high speed corexy that focused on rigidity and made as little comrpromises as possible. Other than the build volume and size. Surprisingly, it's larger than a P1S while having a 100mm smaller bed.
The original one was a rushed design that happened in 2 weeks last summer, but it taught me a lot about printer design and I managed to get some sponsors. Now, I'm incorporating everything I've learned about good 3d printer design.
Also, I thought the original was a bit boring with plain aluminum panels.
My build is pretty unique, so I dont expect people to build a similar printer, however you could utilize multiple aspects from it:
- The toolhead is afaik the most compact com optimized toolhead with a 50mm long meltzone. It about 10mm shorter than other similar toolheads.
- Kumiko panels is parametric, so you can use it on a lot of printers (not that reliable, so you might need to ask me for help with specific configurations)
- G2Z drives and Z joints. Normally G2Z drives are used on v2s or microns, but not that often on trident-like printers
- You could use my gantry since it supports 12mm belts (Monolith cnc gantry is a great option otherwise)
The LDO leviathan + extension board has enough ports for all of the components, so its simply pluging into the correct ports. The only other wiring is ssrs for heatbed and chamber heater.
