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 ^^
