You Can Print This Tiny CoreXY 3D Printer

While the rest of the world was concerned with going bigger, a handful of real enthusiasts were trying to make 3D printers smaller. The Voron 0 is one popular example and it is great, but its build cost is surprisingly high — the prices of parts don’t scale down much. So, Alex Yu designed this affordable, printable mini coreXY 3D printer that is even smaller than a Voron 0.

This printer, called Encore, has an overall size of just 219×221×262 mm. Despite that small package, it has a surprisingly generous build volume of about 120×120×120 mm. That’s still small, of course, but it is enough to be genuinely useful.

What really sets the build apart is the 3D-printed chassis. That is not normally the type of thing I condone, because 3D printers need decent rigidity and thermoplastics tend to flex. But this is a unique case. The small size...
