EP.06 - Building a 3D-Printer - Hypercube evolution

[@gizmobowen]

Hey you finished the walls. Glad to not see the drywall screws any more LOL.

[@pietershomeprojects4537]

they were annoying me too

[@individualone]

Awsome job..a bit overwhelming...I'll be making a very large one...maybe 6 to 8 feet build volume! Subbed 👍

[@pietershomeprojects4537]

Thanks for the sub.... Did you already started? If so, keep me updated on your progress..... I'm interested!

[@individualone]

@@pietershomeprojects4537 nah..not yet but I will soon..sometime during the summer

[@chloemcholoe3280]

Why so large? It’s going to have so many issues

[@olafmarzocchi6194]

That's not a Hypercube EVOLUTION. It's a hypercube.

[@beni5154]

Making one myself so this is really helpfull.

[@pietershomeprojects4537]

Nice, what are you running? I'm glad if i could help you! If you got questions, let me know! you're free to send me pictures of your printer, i'm always intrested in learning too!!! Greetz, Pieter

Hi Pieter, I am going to be building my own HyperCube soon. I am collecting parts at the moment. I am also planning to use the Duet WiFi board. Did you research any of the other controller boards? Did you consider using carbon fibre rods for the hotend axis?

[@pietershomeprojects4537]

Hey SKWDiesel1, Best of luck with your build! if you got questions, feel free to ask! I went for the DuetWifi, since this is a 32bit, with built in stepperdrivers, and those drivers are awesome... so i was pretty fast convinced. And the price is ok for what you get, also, my 3D printer lives at my attick (that's where i make all my video's, and i would like to activate and control my printer from my living room, so the wifi was, for what i found the best option. I didn't consider the carbon fibre rods, cause i when i saw Tech2c grinding them to get a smooth surface, i didn't wanted to go that way... Greetz

@@pietershomeprojects4537 Have you considered enclosing the printer to accommodate higher temperature plastics? I see problems at the top of the cube! For my cube I can see me having to extend the frame upwards by 300mm+ to allow feeding of filament.

[@pietershomeprojects4537]

@@SKWDiesel1 Yes i did/do.... There are a lot of options.. but right now i'm struggling with my Z-axis 😂😂

a trick: you can watch movies at Flixzone. Been using it for watching lots of of movies these days.

[@tristanpaul2116]

@Casey Zayne Definitely, I've been watching on Flixzone for years myself :)

[@WarlordVision]

Have you seen the Core XY Mamba? hypedphoto.com/dronemods/product/mamba-core-xy-stl-kit/

[@pietershomeprojects4537]

Looks good, i'm shure it's a great printer, there aren't very much diffrences, double z-axis and double z-rods... i've seen this, but i want to try it with a "floating bed", just because it looks cool.... if it sucks, i'll move over to this setup 😊
