IgorNC - a random numerically controlled contraption with a dual printing head

Thumbnail

Mechanics

Comprises three (almost) identical linear actuators built around C-beams with machined end caps

Endplates All mechanics are maximally over-engineered to compensate for a poorly conceived and inherently unstable gantry design.

  • endplates are machine 8mm aluminium
  • transition fit for NEMA17 motor journals
  • press fit for flanged bearings
  • 3 NEMA17 steppers with integrated ~500mm leadscrews
  • all 3 axes differ in gantry plates only, but use otherwise interchangable components

Print head

  • dual head
  • 1.75mm bowden extruders (Titan from E3D)
  • internal air guide creates a directed planar sheet of air
  • printed ABS duct for better heat resistance
  • flexible TPU adapter improves fan connection to the duct
blower components blower outlet
Blower assembly Air duct

Print bed

  • print area is 360x360mmm

First iteration

  • bakelite heated bed
  • overengineered kinematic mounts: machined, hardened, and surface ground V-Blocks locating on cap screw heads :D

Second iteration

Bed v2

  • machined from 6mm aluminium, heater fully recessed
  • removable magnetic print surface from Ender 5 Plus
  • rigidly bolted to the X gantry to reduce vibrations

Electronics and control

Electronics

  • Duet 2 WiFi controller
  • 350W power supply
  • custom laser-cut enclosure
  • NC emergency switch
  • NO customizable control buttons
  • NO reset button (unfortunately, Duet 2 uses a dedicated pin for that, so has to be hard-wired)

Settings and macros

Homing

Homing is done switch-less using stall detection.

Bed probing

Currently done by detecting contact between print head and a steel feeler gauge :D

Bed leveling

  • G29.1 allows loading an interpolated height map for a given temperature using RepRap firmware support for "meta-commands".

Macros

triggerX.g allow customizing button actions, e.g. the "Green" button will resume print if paused, or print last file again if not currently printing.

load.g/unload.g provide parametrized macros to simplify filament management.
