Cookie CoreXY 3D Printer

The printer is strategically named; now, when your girlfriend/wife asks what you are doing buried in the garage all day long, you can shamelessly declare that you are making cookies. Bonus points if you actually get her a box of cookies afterwards.

This is the mini version of the Cake printer that is available here. It is meant for designs up to 150 × 150 × 150 mm. The printed parts require about 1 kg of filament and the frame can be built with extrusions that cost less than 20€. It is limited to 34 mm NEMA 17 motors and will work fine with even 24 mm motors. The small printer should cost about 100-120€ and is a real workhorse (well, a pony-sized workhorse).

The printer is based on Slot 6 2020 profiles, which are dirt-cheap (less than 3.5€ per meter in the EU) and very versatile, but Slot-V or other 2020 extrusions (or even rectangular pipes) can also be used. It also has a relatively small footprint, providing a good print area in restricted/tight spaces.
