From the project
Large format CoreXY 3D printer with a hybrid design of FR4 and printed parts.
SnakeOilXY-LFR (Large format FR4) is a complete redesign inspired by the Voron 2.x with the goal of achieving better performance, scalability, reliability, and reduced maintenance. By incorporating FR4 for structural parts alongside printed components and utilizing a metal core reinforced design, it results in a more robust motion system that is less affected by the characteristics of the filament used in the printed parts. Furthermore, it is more suitable for large format machines.
