CoreXY Printer Mod

A high-speed, enclosed system rebuilt from the ground up for high-temperature ABS and PETG printing. We optimized every belt path and bracket to prove that simple parts can yield complex, reliable behaviors.

Performance Specs

Tuned for raw speed

By shedding toolhead weight and enclosing the printing volume, this custom-built machine achieves high-temperature reliability and high-speed resonance compensation without sacrificing clean, precise first layers.

Built for high temps

Thermal Control

Enclosed Chamber

A custom acrylic and PETG enclosure seals the ambient heat inside the chamber, preventing ABS warp and ensuring flawless layer adhesion across long-duration, high-temperature structural prints.

Weight Reduction

Direct-Drive Mounts

Custom-sliced lightweight printed mounts house a compact direct-drive extruder, dropping moving mass significantly to eliminate ghosting and resonance issues at high acceleration rates.

Firmware Tuning

Resonance Compensation

Running tuned input shaping firmware allows the machine to predict and cancel out mechanical vibrations, delivering crisp corners even at extreme printing speeds.
