Z-Motion Prototyping 1 - Monolith Zero

· · Members Area post from

Yesterday, I decided to build the complete printer with FDM parts, not just the XY gantry, to get a better understanding of the whole experience. zruncho has been carrying me with his gantry QoL experiments, and I figured this would be the best way for me to add to the conversation from a different perspective.

The best thing about having an 80mm3/s, 50k printer is that it can print V0-sized panels or full plates of parts faster than I can install them.

What I got done today: Printed and installed the bottom panel and the closed-loop belt Z-drive Mounted the 2xUHP PSUs Installed the bed base plate, lead-screw nuts, and Z-joints Began planning out the rear electronics layout

My next goal will be to get this thing to work with my older toolhead to get some IS results and maybe some PLA prints.
