Wow, it's like a Dr Who episode where everyone is called Simon. My OB1.4 has a build area close to 200x200x200 depending on the extruder setup. Several other people have come up with better extruders and x-carriages now so I would probably use one of them if I were building another.
I have pretty much moved on from this printer now and am working on two other designs, one is a very simple printer made from 8-10mm acrylic sheet and will be a kit sold via a friend of mine in flat pack and the other is a one-off larger scale printer I am building with Misumi 2020 type extrusions and will have a build area of 300x300x300.
I am also associated with two different builders who are building very large scale 1mx1mx1m machines both running mach3 - it seems the way to go with bigger machines as there are a lot of CNC 4-axis boards out there that will run the larger stepper motors easily.

Seems like a very sturdy printer ^^
also as looks go you could make it pretty nice like black beams and orange plastic parts and a black or orange heated bed :P
Also i might be wrong but wouldnt it be possible to make a folding replicator from it with a few diffrent things? ^^
I just find those printers cute haha :P
But ye realy nice printer design you did there ^^
You should make a kickstarter haha :P
Edit: Just watched your video with the Red OB1 you made, Looked rly nice ^^

This is "Jon"
It's name is Jon because that's where you go to take a s***, not really, it does some interesting things.jon (1).jpg Just almost finished with some upgrades, so I can measure and control temperature at more points. It is VERY old, like myself, has a lot of problems with the design, I change them once in a while, but for research purposes it works alright.
I'm not so much into the actual printing as know about the temperatures, and physics behind everything. I have a sales site, but it is only to support research, don't really try to sell.Last edited by Vanguard; 11-26-2013 at 09:40 AM.
