I'm looking at making a new printer. I'm thinking a core XY similar to a Voron, but I would be making it from scratch. I'm looking for something I can make reliable and accurate. I want to print PLA, ABS, TPU and more. I have a bunch of parts now that I would stick to.
235mm heated bed Revo hot end Nema 17 motors. BTT E3 mini, although I could use my SKR3 instead.
The easiest would be a bed slinger, but I am open to a Trident style. I like unique and challenging things.
What new features should I include? What should I avoid?
I'm thinking of building a new printer and would love to be able to make 2 color prints or dissolvable supports. Does anyone have any experience with this. I see 3 paths.
Two hot ends Pros: Most robust No retraction or filament waste Cons: Alignment issues. Reduced travel Dragging nozzle
Dual filament hot end(taichi style) Pros: Easy to mount No offsets Cons: Jamming? Long retraction
Y splitter Pros: easy to mount No offset Compatible with any hot end Cons jamming Super long retraction
