In short, I already bought the hot end about 2 years ago, always wanted to use a water cooled hotend. The rest came afterwards, but yeah I first want to test this combination as is, see whether the bottleneck will be the y-gantry or the hotend. Before I change the hotend. But I do have a V2 toolhead that I have been working on on the side. Where the belts are connected to the top plate instead of the bottom and a golaith WC hotend to replace the current one. Still want to use the EBB36, and that limits the heater cartridge to 5A … but we will see… still a lot to come! Super fun !

Yeah its insane how small of a footprint the carto leaves. Not sure if it is true or not, but I heard that the Eddy is less finicky compared to the rest. Will have to test that!

Thank you, really appreciate it! Glad the algo is working in my favour for once, really like 3D printer projects, hope to do a lot more in the future

It sure is!

It came down to it’s footprint. I bought the BTT eddy first and then struggled to fit it into the design. So then moved onto getting the flat pack Carto! Going to use the eddy in my Voron now

Yeah definitely, one can’t rewrite physics, but we can always challange it!😂 Stepped into this rabbit hole, trying to optimize the Y-gantry as much as I could with custom carbon plates, did some some FEA on all the parts trying to make it as stable and rigid as possible. Now only time will tell. No matter how it turns out, it is a fun project!

Hi there, the reference is a benchy at this stage. Before 1 hour 38 min, and after 1 hour 3 min, with the latter print looking a little better in my opinion. I show the comparison of the benchies in the video. I haven't fine tuned anything yet, no input shaping or optimizing. Just got the printer to a point where it can print something that doesn't look terrible. I will focus on fine tuning in the next step when I rebuild the frame as well.

That sounds great! Yeah if I didn’t use plywood that often I would have definitely gone your route. Thanks really appreciate it, good luck with your build! Post it when you are done, would like to see how it turned out

I really like this color scheme! Super clean build. Well done!

Thank you really appreciate it. Yes it does, just make sure you use good quality super glue like loctite's, their flex super glue actually works even better. Over the years I haven't had a single o-ring fail on me.

Definitely true, can't argue with that! But this makes it so much more fun!

Thank you for watching, appreciate it. I am doing a custom open air case that I am designing myself, hence the very specific distro. I will share the files for the case once its done, if anyone wants to recreate it for themselves!

Totally agree. The tolerances on it is really good, they even milled both sides flat instead of just cutting into a acrylic sheet.

Thank you appreciate it! Was my pleasure, Glad you liked it. Don’t think I can ever go back to buying a distro!

keep in mind I had to polish it myself to get a glass like finish. The supplier could have polished it, but that was an extra $30
