CoreXY with stepper motors

Projects General Guidance
1

Hey all,

Recently I started a project for school, and I basically need to make a 2d printer, so my teacher and other students recommended me to use coreXY. Recently I got my stepper motor to work with an Arduino Mega + Ramps + Tmc2209. However I am clueless on how to actually implement coreXY. I have done a bunch of googeling, and completely understand the theory behind it, just not how to implement it.

From what I understand is CoreXY a concept. Is there a universally used software/library used for this, or am I going to code my own software for this (if so, in which language? Using G-code?)

I am very clueless on how to actually implement this, any help would greatly be appreciated.

What does that look like?

Isn't the "Y" in "CoreXY" referring to the Y axis?

= 2d printer

Thank you for responding,
I should have been more clear. This link explains coreXY better than I ever could

I never thought about that, however I am just looking to make a 2d printer like Kolaha mentioned below. CoreXY is used for that. Any ideas on how I can implement that?

Exactly, Thank you. I will edit my post to make it more clear.

Why? I hope it was because there is a requirement for high-speed motion and not because they want to make life difficult for you. It seems you don't have a grasp for the basics yet.

However, if the goal is to create a "plotter" style device and not write software, I would suggest just create a conventional 2d device and use Marlin.

^ This is very true,

I would suggest just create a conventional 2d device and use Marlin.

I am going to look in to this, thank you!

Marlin works with near to any cinematic, at least coreXY is definitively supported
