    Hey, what do you have as your Axis mm/min settings? (Settings > Printer Parameters > Axis)

    I don't want to over-tax my steppers by issuing commands that will fry them.

    I'm considering the non-lite version of the Bulldog, but Colin doesn't offer it. I'd like to go to a two-extruder setup, and the Bulldog seems like a more space-efficient way to do that.

    Well, the 10" frame probably won't accommodate the 12x12 bed, just as the 8" frame which I have won't accommodate the 10x10 bed... not enough width between the two Z axis pillars.

    Not particularly, and the power consumption difference between the 8" and 10" is pretty negligible, to be honest. The worst case is that there's more room to screw up and waste plastic! :)

    Also note that in the Makerfarm Products > Electronics section, in addition to the new 10" x 10" heated bed, there's also a 12" x 12" heated bed, making a Prusa 12" i3v a possibility as well.

    gmay3, adding a GT2 adapter (like you linked to) shouldn't affect the accuracy, so long as you re-tension the drive belt.

    Hahaha!

    I prefer ABS, because it's a known factor for me. PLA has a lower melting point and might be more susceptible to heat/distortion from the stepper on big jobs.
