LeXY - Core XY 3D printer - Laser engraver

thingiverse

LeXY is a 3D Printer, with the ability to exchange the extruder with a Laser module. I'm working in this project since late 2014, and now, after several trial and error tests, I think that the reliability reached the desired level... I will maintain the "Work in progress" state because is a live project constantly improved... Main Features Core XY Motion system Easy exchange Extruder/Laser High Quality Materials MK8 Spring Loaded Direct Drive Printing Volume: 210x210x200mm Laser module 2W-445nm - PLEASE USE SAFETY GOGGLES Main structure parts printed in ColorFabb XT Clear Remote Control with Raspberry Pi & Octoprint High range of printing materials (All Metal Hotend) High Definition, Trapezoidal Z Lead Screw Use it, Share it, Improve it, but please, don't sell it... ;) UPDATES 04/02/2016 - Added Inkscape Plugin Instructions 22/06/2016 - Hands UP!!! Big UPDATE... Source Solidworks 2015 files on GitHub and Laser wiring schematics!! 04/11/2016 - Take a look at the LeXY Remix by Kev0. Includes some very interesting updates like an spool holder and the E3D V6 nozzle adaptation among others. 13/11/2016 - Uploaded last version of operational firmware Marlin v1. See notes on firmware section at BOM. Bill of Materials CAD LeXY GitHub Firmware Marlin for the Arduino Latest version used by me Marlin v1. ATTENTION: This is the latest version uploaded to the arduino MEGA and you will need to fine tune it within the printer (z offsets, jerk, etc...).
