# Day 4 ( Feb 26 2025)

Yesterday after asking in the slack and some reasearch I decided that I will use 2020 V-slot aluminium extrusions, 250 mm of lenght. After importing it and setting it all in FreeCAD (I lost so much time trying to resize them), I finnally have a _very rought_ idea of how to case is looking ![image of the aluminium extrusions in freecad](https://hc-cdn.hel1.your-objectstorage.com/s/v3/8481a678c763f07e890dcd723f270deac1fcd036_2025-02-26-110309_hyprshot.png)

I'm also searching on how to make the USB-C power. The main problem is that, from what I saw, USB-C PD (Power Delivery) can only go up to _100 watts_, which look pretty low for a printer. Maybe my printer will have a dual power system (either normal power, which more voltage, and USB-C when less power is required) ?

### update 2:
I managed to position most of the parts including the fans, hotend and extruder. I'm now realizing though that there are some major clearence issues with the extruder and the dock. I'll try and modify the dock a little bit tommorow to rememdy that. I also got a fan duct that I'm not sure will work very well but it's the best I could do.

## update 3:
I realized this positioning won't work, because the extruder motor and fan both interfere with where the dock would connect to the printer. Because of that, I flipped the extruder around and cut a hole in back. This design is a lot better because it
1. clears up some space so we can have a bit more build volume
2. makes it actually feasible to make lol
3. makes the center of gravity a bit closer to the actual center.

Along with that, to fix the fan's positioning I moved it to be part of the base of the toolchanger. I also made a basic fan duct using the revolve and loft tools (may or may not work idrk lol)
This is better because
- now we only have to buy one fan, instead of 4 which saves a ton of money
- the center of gravity is closer to the back
- also frees up a bit of space for more build volume

I positioned the hotend and the cooling fan. The position is actually completely diffrent from what I chose before because I needed to make it line up with the extruder (lol)

I also made some minor changes to the dock by moving some parts around like some of the magnets and stuff, but they weren't really noticeable enough for me to take a photo.

The PSU was also positioned kinda odd but that's because the gap will be filled by a box to hold some electronics.

## update 2
Next I added the X axis and the toolhead. The part that connects the linear rails on the y axis and the 2020 extrusion for the X axis is a pretty basic 3d printed part. I'm not quite sure it'll hold up in the end but if it doesn't I'll just redesign it in the future.

Heres how it looks w/ the toolchanger: (there isn't going to be 4 in the end prolly its just gonna be 3)

## update 3
After doing the x and y axis, I made this triple lead screw z axis.
in the OG grasshopper I used only 1 and 2 linear rods, but after talking a bit online I realized that would cause a lot of issues with the z axis locking up. Also, I had some extra motors and ports either way so it wouldnt take much out of my budget

At this point I was basically done the printer's CAD so i just tried to add some finishing touches.
I added a screen holder for a random car display i had in my garage and a couple boxes to hold the elexctronics.

Other than that, I also added a small camera in the corner. The camera is a composite one that runs on 12v that i stole from my garage jus like the screen :P
