Rosalind the 3D printer, aka the queen, is a fully parametric coreXY RepRap 3D printer.

Building Rosalind

Back in 2015 I wanted a CoreXY 3D printer. However none of the designs available back then didn't tick all of the following boxes:

☐ CoreXY (yeah I said that, I know)

☐ Parametric (I had some constraints in the parts I wanted to use so I needed to be able to modify it easily)

☐ Open Source (No non-commercial stuff)

☐ Designed using Open Source. (I don't want to have to use proprietary software to improve/modify it)

☐ Printable (I wanted to buy vitamins off the internet and print the parts and not have to get other custom parts like lasercut wood)

Since there was no such printer (now there is another one) I decided to create one from scratch.

I also wanted it to house it under the reprap project so Rosalind was born.

Documentation

The build guide (still WIP) lives on the reprap wiki and if you prefer a video tutorial you can check out our youtube channel where we build it in an ongoing episode series.

faceplate.stl

A very awesome faceplate that proudly displays "Rosalind". The most important part of the printer :-P Export to amf to preserve the dual colors or set your slicer to print in a different color everything above 2mm (or just color it yourself :-P)

    We hope it's entairtaining enough even if you don't want to build your own Rosalind but just want to know more about 3D printers. We did our best.
