*Note* The y-axis 2040 extrusion must have hand tapped M5 threaded holes. The x-axis carriage screws down to the 2040 Y-axis extrusion and rail.

WorkHorse Printer Updates Download Files WorkHorse Printer CAD BOM Lead Screw Workhorse Printer’s are available to purchase in Machined Component Kit, Hardware Kit or Complete Kit. Materials such as clay, chocolate, plastic pellet extrusion or other foods can increase weight that is moved around which results decreased quality or print speeds. The system is particularly useful in applications that add more weight to the gantry or carriage. The lead screw used on the Workhorse has a high helix pitch with multiple threads to allow increased print speeds while maintaining the quality provided from lead screw and ball screw motion. While most 3d printers use belt driven motion in the x and y axis to increase print speed but loses quality when more weight is applied to the gantry or carriage. The fixed bed / moving gantry is intended to make the 3d printer more scalable as the bed and z-axis mechanism becomes heavier. Large DIY 3D Printer Build Lead Screw / Ball Screw Motion System WorkHorse Printer If you’re looking for an advanced project like building a large 3d printer, the WorkHorse is an open-source design that you can customize for a specific application or project. We settled with a Igus high helix thread pitch with a 50mm lead. We’ve tried a range of different styles of lead screw and had mixed results. But this isn’t most cases and the lead screw we selected to drive the WorkHorse isn’t your standard lead screw. In most cases, belt driven 3d printers are better suited compared to lead screw. The XYZ Lead Screw motion system is an open-source design that can be adapted to specific materials and applications. The WorkHorse is a large customizable 3d printer platform for designers, builders, and makers.
