klippy.log: Don’t have one yet
Hi. I’m building an idex corexy printer based on Trident/HevORT and I’m trying to figure out the kinematics im going to use. I’ve looked at the documentation, but none of the available kinematics types are what I’m looking for.
I want 2 tool heads with corexy kinematics, but not hybrid corexy, as I want the carriages to be driven by 4 motos each in a AWD config. This is due to using geared down stepper motors (using nema17 with 4:1 gear reduction gearbox added), so I need more power than what 2 steppers are capable of without pushing them to the extreme.
Is it possible to use double AWD, meaning 8 motors, 4 per carriage, both sets of 4 on a corexy config? If so, does klipper support this? What do I need to do to the print.config file to make this possible?
Thanks in advance for your time.
EDIT:
Found a better term for what im looking for: CoreXYUV (CoreXYU, but with another motor for the second carriage)
Basically:
-One X gantry
-Two extruders/carriages; X1 and X2
-8 motors, 4 for each carriage (or 4 motors, 2 for each, the config would be the same i guess)
- 2 motors for movement x+y, 2 for movement x-y, 2 for movement u+y (or x2+y), 2 for movement u-y (x2-y)
This way the motors for the second carriage are used all the time and help move the heavy gantry.
