Delta to Toolchanger -> Core X/Y or H-Bot framekit?

sungod3k

Hi,

i want to get into toolchanging but on a budget, and not with my delta. I have good parts but the frame i cant use.

I looked a bit around for framekits. Openbuilds/Ratrig has some interesting frames in their library but those are expensive and https://seckit3dp.design/price/sk-go is of course nice, but also a bit pricy for the project.
Buying a cheap printer for the parts like this is almost worth it, but I wonder if someone came across a decent framekit somewhere? (and then i can use my delta frame parts to stabilize it.)

Cheers

the tronxy frame is terrible.

if you just want a frame, you can buy extrusion from places like

they even sell kits

Hi,

What's you budget?

Just so you know a CoreXY is considered to be a superior design in relation to the H-Bot.

@fcwilt yes core xy all the way.

for that price toolchange is not an option.

I don't think that will be enough for a tool changing printer.

my 300 budget is for the frame only.

here is a brackdown of the jubilee

@Veti

Im just looking at the railcore 2 vs the jubilee for they use linear rails. I like the jubilees way of having the carriages ride on top of the printer. that saves quite some z space.
i also figured i probably can use all my delta frame parts to make a core xy frame, i only need z screws.

you seem to know the jubilee a bit, what would be the reason for the x and y motors to have an extra pulley just before the motor? why not end the belt loop directly on the motors driver pulley?

It reduces the overall depth of the printer while still allowing a good range of belt tension adjustment.

Keep your delta intact, unless you have a another printer. You will need it to make parts for your new printer.

@dc42 yes already printing parts

RIP delta but now i cant wait to saw it in half^^
