    What a big coincidence! I've watched his video the other day and designed a corner bracket following his principles (not exactly to the letter) but will use it for my next printer design :D

    Awesome, good luck with moving! And yeah all the parts will fit with the exception of the PSU mount rail but I can make a version that would fit on a 180x180mm bed, same with the different control board mounts I'm designing

  • I've done some progress on it and it's now on [Printables](https://www.printables.com/model/541707-caracal) I'm not expecting a whole lot of people to commit to building it but I would be deeply appreciative of anyone spending the time and money on it. I do expect some teething issues though but I'll update the design along the way. Open sourcing printers is important to me especially when at lot of manufacturers are moving towards proprietary designs

    Thank you! And yeah I do agree that cantilever bearings are a bit of an engineering sin. I thought about doing something about it but wanted to get the design going. Bed plate is a LDO Voron V0 kit which I really like for having its thermistor in the center!

    Definitely lots of inspiration from the V0 (frame, belt paths) I actually thought of getting a V0 kit but the assembly felt a bit much, Voron are incredibly well designed don't get me wrong but I'm a sucker for simplicity so that was my main goal for it

    Yes, watching Rolohaun's stream inspired me to go for it! as far as the design go, I tried my best to make all sides flush for ease of enclosing, voron style belt paths and avoiding making too many parts for easier assembly, I'll release the files on printables soon once everything is well tested

  • I've always contemplated designing my own printer but I didn't know how to until I learned CAD, was quite the journey and I learned a lot (still a lot to learn) but I had a lot of fun designing it!

    To be clear it's neither economical nor fast, my design has flaws but it's mine. For the rest of you guys I recommend building the Rook by Rolohaun 3D! ![](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/18c44c9e-1d11-4cae-9cd0-b1f78d966c1e.jpeg)
