BigBox 3D Printer

[Brian_Krassenstein]

As a specialized vendor of quality components--mainly hotends--E3D has now decided to go full-force, collaborating with Littlebox on their new BigBox 3D printer. Just launching a Kickstarter campaign, E3D is able to not only center the new 3D printer with their famous quality hotend, but also offer a modular, open source design in combination with an enormous build size, an extrusion system that works with nearly any filament or material and features interchangeable nozzles, as well as auto-leveling, high-end electronics, and a constant stream of upgrades on the horizon.

Looks good. Nice build volume, sensible prices and realistic quoted print speeds.

Good luck to them :-)

Agreed. I also like the dual Z-axis, something I would have preferred on my printer...

The only bad point is they list identical volume for all options. Probably untrue for dual extrusion.

or they've made the case large enough to do it. :-)

I know lots of people using their print heads. Someone sent me over here. Im looking for a printer
with a larger print area then most. Looking at Ridgibot too.
I wish the print area on the BigBox was a little larger like on the BigRidgibot.

Wood or Acrylic?

Wood tends to absorb moisture and might deform over time?
Acrylic tends to deform by heat? and is more brittle?

[spaceman]

Yes Acrylic looks cool but doesn't hold up well over time.

[Stigern]

Anyone else here who ordered one?

[spaceman]

Now here is a Beast of a printer at a low price in kit if you want. Im going to see how this
kickstart goes.
