It has been a while since I have updated this. I received the last of the parts for my CoreXY/H-bot designed 3d printer. I should be putting that together over the next 2 weeks. I'll document this as best as I can.
Tonight I came home tired, so I decided to write a small python program just to exercise and to help me learn Python 3.x. I will put up another post specifically about this.

3D printer beginings
Ah today I started to put together what I want in a 3d printer. My
goals for this project are as follows.
- 100% modular design. I want to be able to extend the bed,
extend the height, change parts, at will. I don't want to be locked
into anything if I can help it.
- 1 Print head for now, but I need to be able to add a 2nd
at some point in the future.
- Ball screws for the Z axis (nice and smooth movement)
- Larger format than most printers I've seen. Looking to get at
least 12”x12”x12” total print area. The printer I'm looking at
looks more like I will be about 18”x18”x21”,
- Other than that just fun and design. I am going to start with
a basic design and I will go from there.
- I will be using the plans from
http://openbuilds.com/builds/c-bot.1146/
as my starting point
- I ordered 10500mm of 2020 aluminum today. That will be used
to build my frame and the x/y gantry.
