(BETA) V-Chonk v0.2
The people have spoken and the V-Chonk is a go!
Introducing the Rat Rig V-Chonk project! - A fully open source project of an almost fully 3D printed 3D printer featuring a CoreXY design and a cubic build volume measuring up to 180mm on each side.
Rat Rig V-Chonk
The V-Chonk is as a fully open-source DIY project for anyone who wants to build or self-source one!
What makes it unique is that it's almost exclusively built with printed parts, featuring a CoreXY design and a cubic build volume measuring up to 180mm on each side. You will need a 3D Printer with a build area of at least 400x400mm to be able to print all the parts for the V-Chonk. Then add just a few mostly standard 3D printer hardware parts and the electronics, and you're set.
Almost everyone loved the name, so we’re sticking to call V-Chonk to our "chonky boy", and since there was huge interest in the project,we decided to publish the current development version of the project on a public repo, all for free, all open source. You can now find the CAD model, bill of materials and STLs in a public repository linked below, all for free, all open-source. Note: This is version 0.2, meaning, it’s very much a work in progress still under development. The project is still far from polished, but the idea is to open it immediately to the community so we keep building it together.
