Hey, no I haven't bothered to compile all my files for sharing sorry. This printer was scrapped for parts a long time ago now. I actually forgot about this printer until you commened and reminded me of it. It was a cool build. Thanks :) Both of the printers that I use at the moment use the Monolith Gantry, the rest is custom made by me. But in my opinion, the Monolith Gantry is better than anything I ever designed, so that's why I went that direction.

Thanks, it's a custom build :)

@@1jmanthree I already had the CPAP. I've moved to water cooling now which works much better.

Yeah it is!

Lol, she was talking to the dog.

@@sebastienharens I used the world record gcode which I believe was done in orcaslicer.

@@H3llb0y4444 Hi, yeah the manual motor sync wasn't perfect for me, I still got VFAs, but now it does the accelerometer sync before each print and the prints look great IMO!

its either sup'd up to the extreme or its in vase mode

In short, size limits and stringing. The limiting factor in melting plastic is the heat transfer rate of plastic itself, which is quite low. So you need more contact with heat to melt it faster. Special nozzle geometries like CHT have helped, but having a longer melt zone is the surefire way to increase melt speed. However, a longer melt zone has a few drawbacks. By being longer, it's harder to fit on a toolhead, it weighs more, and is more prone to quality mess ups from rocking and flexing under high speed. It also is more prone to stringing. However, if your extruder has a strong pushing force, the outside of the plastic will be liquid enough to stick for layer adhesion, while the inside just gets squished into shape. It effectively does the same thing as better melting, but in a smaller package that is lighter and can make higher quality prints. That said, we definitely have gone a little overboard, and are way past the point of needing more pushing force.

Hey, I changed all of the electronics out to a SKR3 and Raspberry Pi running Klipper

Basically just a WM9290 CPAP that gets split 4 ways and flows air over the steppers. It works well for what it is, but it's very loud and it's not as good as water cooling.

@@tiaanv I actually haven't been using it! But in theory the quality should be better because the Galileo 2 housing has an improved ring gear design over the orbiter 2.

@@papanook4989 I don't have the config anymore as I stripped this build down for parts. I just started off with the default klipper config for my board though (BTT SKR3) and modified it as needed.

@@alumunum Probably lol, what do you mean?

Good question, you probably need to use another toolhead.

I don't think so unless it's very cheap

Thanks!

Great build! I have a rep 2x that I need to revive. Do you happen to have a part list, and stl of the printed parts?

Hey, at this point with the SKR 3 MCU, it's really just the same as building any other cartesian machine with Klipper.

The belts are perfectly parallel. I don't think you understand the design fully. There are idler bearings that you probably can't see.

My belts are more parallel than many VZ bot builds. For example smooth 20T GT2 idlers have a slightly different diameter to stacked flanged bearings, but I see people use either one interchangeably on VZbot builds.
