SolidCore CoreXY Kinematic Bed

The SolidCore CoreXY uses a mic6 tool plate for the bed. Cast Aluminum tool plate is a good solution because it has good thermal conductivity and heats up evenly without warp or twist. The bed needs to be flat and remain level. In three point bed leveling, the three z-axis lead screws are used as the three points that make up a triangle and define a plane.

Since 3 points define a plain 3 screws, evenly placed in a triangle will raise and lower that plain without imparting any twisting forces so the bed will stay flat. A mechanical bind can cause the bed to tilt over time. The advantage of a kinematic bed is that the aluminum plate can expand without causing anything to bend or flex.
