thingiverse

Is the new version of the G&C printer. The first version was called Good & Cheap printer, in this new model the "cheap" part is lost and you replace the "good" with a "very good". Building this printer from scratch will cost between 800€ to 1200€, depending of some hardware's options chosen. Main modifications is relation to the first model: -There is no printed parts that could affect the rigidity of the frame or linear movements. -3 plates in the dxf files must be laser cut with 5mm aluminium. -bigger print volume: 305mm x 265mm x 350mm -All axis have better linear mechanism: it use 2 x 15mm with 330mm linear rails on the Y axis and a long 15mm with 410mm linear rail on the X. The Z bed use 2 x 16mm rods and 2 x longs linear bearing. X and Y axis is connected using 5mm aluminum plates. -Z ball screw of 12mm, 4mm pitch. The two new bearings was the exact same size of the main bed 20x60 allowing to be easy to install and reduce problems with miss alignments. -corexy movement compact and only in one plane, use a twisted belt in front to achieve this. The printer was designed to be an upgrade of the g&c and it reuse a lots of the material. The print quality is very high. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEoxrP_zvuwhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6z2Zpig0Q-k top plate:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7V2VKkJtGbA
