99% of modeling 3D printer parts in CAD is modeling the unprinted stuff first and positioning them where they need to be. Having just that, designing a printable model to connect the two is pretty easy. In the design you're looking at, there are guide rails and a frame in their proper positions. If can can use CAD software, You don't need someone to provide the stl files for you to print. I try to give new names to new parts so that I can distinguish between the different designs contained within the same CAD file, and switch on just the ones I want to see. I do that sort of stuff all the time, especially as I make updates to my printer. It sounds like the person who generated the rsdoc file was trying different options or made updates after the initial design and left the original in the file.

No ideal about the top single T-Slot, though the photos show it holding a wire bundle. The single back T-Slot is only to support the extruder Motor. This would be for the length of my Lead screws and smooth rods. I assume that the center T-Slot's should be framed at the height of my original Hictop about 11 1/2 inches. The basic parts will run about $200 then transfering my 3DP12 parts over to finish.Īs I have an almost complete set of spare parts this would be where all my Hictop 3DP12 parts would be appropriated from. This should make it a little nicer when it is finished. Though I would like to adjust design from start to have dual Z steppers and four Z smooth rods.

This will be to a 300mm square build area. Most likely I will have to adjust everything to the original Hictop parts, then after getting them working can upgrade. Oh well I have worked from less, my 1st Hictop had no assembly instructions so had to use this Youtube video in order to assembly. Still this is my best shot.Īn the designer has no build of materials in their thingiverse post so the basic design is all I have. I can not find any measurements or how to assemble.ĭownloaded DesignSpark Mechanical 5 where I can measure the T-Slots and the Bed, though not much else. If I can get my head wrapped around what to do with this Thingiverse post. It is a Scalable CoreXY V2 (HICTOP Prusa i3 hardware Converted to CoreXY).

Found this which will give me a head start into a CoreXY 3D Printer.
