Day 1 - Research(June 14th)

I decided on making a CoreXY printer, as it is much faster and I believe its the best choice for speed and precision. I want this printer to be enclosed, so that I can print filaments other than PLA.

I looked at a couple DIY corexys for inspiration, like this excellent low cost one

Some important things I wanted to keep in mind though:
I want to try and use a rail driven system, as its more rigid than a belt driven system - however, the jury is still out on this one
I defo want to leave budget for a BLTouch and a good quality printer enclosure

Time Spent - 1h30

Day 2 - Lock in(probably) June 30th

I hope i can finish this printer within the next few days - so without further ado, we shall begin
PT1(around 6 PM): Built the frame with 2020 aluminium extrusion for a total cage size of 410x260mm

Day 3 - Did not lock in lmao(June 5th)

Today, I remembered this project and started working on it again
Added the corner brackets to the big boi and also increased its height by 30mm
Most importantly, I pretty much finished my gantry
Nema 17, belt driven goodness on mgn12 linear rails, with some other cool stuff
However, I stole the toolhead from SimpleCore as a temporary placeholder kinda thing, I dont think I have the parts to build something like that and I dont think I can find those parts
Time Spent: 6hr

Day 4 - Z assembly (June 10th)

Today, I worked on the Z assembly plus some other QOL stuff(feet)
I used two steppers for this, and I intend to use a 220mm bed
Again, this is similar to the gantry as it uses those linear rails with carriages and belts. I was thinking of using three steppers for this, but keeping in mind the size of this medium boi, dont think thats the greatest idea
Time Spent: 85hr
