Have been putting my CoreXY off for too long now, will start by installing the Power Supply and controller.
This will allow me to test my Z-Axis now.
Then I can finish 3D Printing the remaining models for the core X and Y axis's.
Most of the other needed hardware is within reach, like my 300X300 hotbed, Power supply, display, belts and pulleys ect.
This hardware was purchased a long time ago, and I guess anything that get in the way of assembly just might end up in trash.

While trying to look at the Design model, Discovered that Design Spark has been upgraded and Version 5,0 no longer functions on my windows computer.
So the first thing need to do this morning is to install the newest Design Spark 6.0.1
My login lo longer functions this means need to register for a new free use login.
All done now I can see the original CoreXY models.

Never used it to actually build any models, Found a RSDOC file including an entire CoreXY 3D Printer needed it to view these models.
Needed it to export some of the STL files of the CoreXY for parts to build my version or this Hictop coreXY.
The size of My Hictop CoreXY will end up being close to a 300mm print area.
An it this works may some day build a 600mm print area or larger with layer thickness of 1.5mm - 2.0mm.
I have recently proved that a 1mm nozzle is realistically achievable on my 3D Printers ( Hictop 3DP08 - Hictop 3DP17 )
Needed to slow the print speed down a little though, if needed same speed could always make a dual heater hot end block.

It appears I need to search for T - Nuts and bolts or order T - Nuts and bolts before I can start assemble.
Need to finishing the 3D Printing of Z-Lift Carriage and Hotbed models , with Dual Z Lift Stepper motors. My Hotbed Carriage is a solid assembly an has some weight, with this in mind I designed with Dual Stepper motors.
Current build in photo below
May change the design a little by reversing the stepper motors to inside of the outer frame. Have plenty of room and feel more comfortable with steppers inside frame. By reducing the 3D Printers footprint it will give me more room for other future builds.

That's looking great so far

It does look great!...
Now if I could get everything done that keeps me from having fun working on it I would have much more to post.
Should be having fun during my senior years though it seems like I work harder now than I did in my 30's.

Have some good news, will be allowed some additional space for my 3D Printers/Computers. Once I can clean out the area will get every thing in place to start up at full speed again. Hooray
Picture of current area below
Believe me when I say it is way too small

Nice space with plenty of potential. Love the sturdy metal racks. Do you get much resonance when printing on those?

Well have only printed one model, an have no place to hang the Filament spools.
Hoping to get every thing moved from pictured room to a more permanent location.
Need to move my Computers, 3D Printers CNC Router, Vinyl cutter and tools into a 7 X 10 foot room.
Yes you did hear me correctly room not closet, currently I have to go outside to change my mind.
This is the only reason it has been so long sense post any thing of value here on forum.
