This is the official build guide for the LayerFused X301 printer. In addition to this textual guide, we have a series of YouTube videos that walks through building the printer. These videos may not hold up over time so this documentation will be the primary documenation
This section contains all the information you need to get started building your own LayerFused X301.
This guide follows along closely with the CoreXY DIY Printer - LayerFused X301 Playlist, though some things are changed if it makes sense to do so.
It's built, now how do I make it work?
LayerFused maintains a fork of the Marlin Firmware. This fork is tested throughly for bugs and issues before it is updated to the latest version to ensure that everything works well with the printers.
Before you Begin
-Make sure you have VS Code with the Platform IO plugin installed on your machine.
-Clone or Download the Repositiory from the LayerFused BitBucket
This printer has been tested by our community with the following firmwares, but for the best support, we recommend starting out with Marlin.
Does it work right?

Some of our community members have worked hard to improve or otherwise modify the original X301 design. Information about their efforts can be found on the Mods page.
