The Layout - Monolith Zero Development
Belt path:
As it turns out the structural tophat with the steppers in the same location is compatible with a more space-efficient, live-shaft-ready, front rail Monolith belt path…

Hardware Kits - Toolhead Development
Aside from the temporary MZA availability issue, I think the current BOM is pretty easy to self-source. So it would make sense to improve some aspects of the extruder and the hotend with custom parts for the kit…

Slow-motion videos and IS troubleshooting
Almost 2 years ago when I started developing the gantry and I didn't know why my graphs were looking like shit, I got into the habit of filming my IS (Input Shaper) runs in slow-mo…

Variable chamfers - CAD tutorial
Since this is a massive part of the Monolith R1 design language, I guess it can't hurt to show how I like to do it…

FirstTry™ as always - My Toolhead Evolution
This post is about my front rail toolhead journey. It showcases how this particular CAD has evolved over the past year based on what I learned from the community and my mistakes, leading up to the design we're currently developing here. It's not meant to take away anything from other toolhead developers' work, who have made significant advancements in this area that we can all build on…

Cross or Crossn't - V0 Development
Despite having several working layouts for the V0 cross, I don't think any of them managed to meet one of the most important design goals for this project, which is making the printer less of a meme…

Milled Kit Progress - Gantry Development
The kits are likely gonna be 9mm 2WD/AWD since the inclusion of 2WD parts only adds a negligible cost. It doesn't warrant making separate versions for both which would leave people without a convenient upgrade path…
