The Robin 3D printers share the goal to be simple to build, based on a simple and repeatable principle, and consist of parts that can be produced with smaller 3D printers.
A simple to build 3D printer with a combined X/Y stage. This printer can be used with very high accuracy as well as with very heavy print head assemblies, because the print head does not move except in the Z-direction.
The Rob Plus 3D printer is build with an inverted-H-assembly, not unlike a coreXY setup, but all steppers are connected along a single line, giving the printer a sleek but sturdy frame. Hence the name Robin Plus - the timing belts form the plus shape. The Z-Axis can be built with either a single or a double-sided crane. The double-sided setup is much less prone to vibrations, while the single-sided setup is very simple and good to use as an educational sample.
