#CAKE, The Corexy Machine

This printer is built on a tronxy x5 pro frame. I decided to not install the stock electronics, and instead used the board and hotend from my larger cartesian printer. Customisations featuring:
-Water cooled hotend (up to 600c) with a MAX31865 and PT1000 temp sensor
-Octopus pro mainboard
-klipper firmware
-BTT Pi v1.2
-Klipper screen, and Fluid web-interface
-dual 350 watt power supplies
-NozzleCam(tm) - mounted to the x carriage
-LED illuminated print area
-Precision adjustable belt tensioner
-Ruby Nozzle

Ruby Nozzle

This is the ruby nozzle. Glass fiber, Chopped Carbon, and Glow filaments are no longer an issue.

Belt tuner

This is a belt tuner I made for this printer. It uses guitar tuners, and belt pulleys to hold the belts. I am able to adjust skew, and compensate for belt stretch with these.

Construction

This photo was taken during construction. A lot of parts for the corexy were taken off my largest cartesian printer.

Nozzlecam

This is the nozzle cam version 1. It was a usb bore scope with a 3d printed mount. Version 2 uses a different camera module which fits closer to the hotend.
