Hello Everyone!
I'm building my first 2.4 and have selected the parts I want to use, but I would like some more experienced builders to comment on the parts in case I missed something or made mistakes.
A general overview: I'm making a 350 build, custom steel frame for the non moving parts (so outside frame) and keeping the extrusion and standard system for the gantry. This is to save money and do create a more robust frame, while eliminating the thermal expansion problems with the linear rails for the Z axis.
Now onto the parts I plan to use:
-hotend: CHC XL AIR wr
-extruder: orbiter 2.5 + filament sensor - with LDO motor
-Z probe: cartographer
-printhead electronics - BTT sb2209 USB
All these within a rapidburner or XOL or archetype
CNC alu bracket for the toolhead
-Carbon bracket from biqu (chaotic lab I think) for the gantry - I plan on having no structural parts made from any kind of 3d printed plastic inside the chamber
-Printfly motion set from Aliexpress - supposedly neoprene rubber with fiberglass reincorcement for the belts, aluminium idles and pulleys
-GE5C system for the gantry mounting
-stepper motors from stepperonline nema 17 high temp 59ncm
-main board: BTT kraken v1.1
-pi and screen - either actual PI or BTT pi, but I'm also looking into skipping these parts and using and older android phone for the screen and instead of the PI as I read that's an option
For PSUs I already have a 48V 500W (S8vk -g48048) and a 24V similar industrial PSU
-mellow 350x350x8mm build plate with some PEI sheet (many options, not worried about it)
- 1000W silicone AC heater (obviously with external switching circuit)
That about sums it up, I know I didn't list all the parts, but the rest seem pretty straight forward. I plan to use mostly engineering materials, PCTG, ASA CF etc, but I want to keep my options open for a toolchanger system as well.
Did I miss anything, does this sound like it could work?
I am a mechanical engineer with access to laser and CNC machines, so I'm not worried about custom parts and installations.
Thank you guys for your help!
