Introduction: A Simple CoreXY
"CoreXY provides a fundamental building block of many computerized fabrication tools - cartesian motion - in a simple and adaptable format."
It is fast, simple and flexible. You can see more details here.
Recently, I have made my own one refer to the design from this website. Thanks for the great work of the designer of the platform.
It is just a structure now. And I will add the Timing pulley, Timing Belt and the electronic modules to drive it soon.
Now let's see how the structure is built.
Step 1: Materials
Here are all the materials that I used.
Step 2: Cut the Frame
Cut the frame by a piece of Bakelite.
Step 3: Add 2 Linear Guideways to Build Y-Axis
Install 2 Linear Guideways on the frame to Build Y-Axis
Step 4: Add a Linear Guideway to Build X-Axis
Install a Linear Guideway on the bracket to Build X-Axis
Step 5: Add X-Axis on the Frame
Add X-Axis on the frame.
Step 6: Add Stepper Motors
Install stepper motors on the frame.

First I would say thanks you for your idea and appreciate if you update till finish. I would like to use your design for my first DIY 3D printer. Many thanks.

Am I right to assume that this is not complete yet? It kinda lacks the connecting threads, does it not?

Yes, it is not complete yet, I will finish it and make an update soon.

What steppers did you use ? I want to choose between NEMA 16,17,23 but limited by a budget.

Can you please add more detail on the hardware. Where did you get the Linear Guideways?
