Clank-CoreXY: Minimum Clank

This is bigtime WIP zone, but I’m pushing CAD sooner-rather-than-later.

CAD Access

I’m also throwing this embedded CAD right here. You can fullscreen this (it’s actually pretty performant) and even explode the model, inspect the part tree, and open it in your own instance of Fusion 360.

You can also download the CAD in a few different formats:

Download Clank-CoreXY in .f3z Fusion 360

Download Clank-CoreXY in .step Interchange Format

Download Clank-CoreXY in .3dm Rhino

Printing

I set up a few print plates, ~ 8 of them, check them out below; they’re sized for a Prusa 250x210mm bed.

I print each in PLA on generic FDM machines… check the printing notes in the parent build section.

The BOM

This is a brief ~ WIP bill of materials. Hardware is all sourced from this kit in the CBA basement, or your own shop’s hardware kit, or via McMaster - or wherever you find your hardware.

SHCS: Socket Head Cap Screws
FHCS: Flat Head Cap Screws
BHCS: Button Head Cap Screws 

I will also note that many of the fasteners here “tap” straight into FDM printed holes… i.e. the fastener does some thread-forming on the way in. I’ve found this to work really well, but I almost always do it with a hex bit in a drill driver, i.e. not ever by hand.

the bed is simply a 420x400mm 3/4” thick plate of melamine (or whatever plate material of your choosing) - easily cut on a table saw, a shopbot, etc; thickness is also easy to change
