    Understand that the 12-inch printer is very new. The first units have just been getting put together in the last week or so.

    EDIT: These won't win any prizes, but my largest in the XY were the 8-inch supports at each end of my top-mount spool holder. Printed diagonally on the 8-inch print bed. My tallest Z was the 6-inch Z resonance test print from the Make: 2015 shoot out bench mark objects.

    Here is my largest print to date (today) on a 8'' bed of the rear mounted spool holder I'm working on. ABS 4mm brim/hairspray, no lifting.

    8" pyramid base and 7.2" high on a i3v 10"

    Here is a pyramid I designed in openscad & printed recently on my i3v 10". It has an 8" square base by 7.2" high & 1/4" round tubes. This was printed in PLA without fill with probably a brim of 4. The time from my log file was 5:20:40.

    print settings
    using slic3r
    walls top and bottom are all 1.5mm thick and 20% infill
    layer height at .35 .4mm hexagon using 1.75 Purple PLA Prototype-supply from Toy builders off amazon
    print speeds are fast very fast

    this will be a lot more detailed later on building a Instructables Guide on the build when I'm done.

    I realize you plan to put some info on instructables, but how about also adding a post to Marlin Motion Related Configuration.h Settings for MakerFarm i3v that explains how you arrived at these settings? I'm especially interested in the 180mm/sec for infill at a 0.35mm layer height. That seems like a lot of extrusion throughput.

    Thought I'd add my latest piece. Roughly 200mm x 200mm. Makerbot blue PLA, 0.3 in-fill, with speed around 75mm. Came out pretty well. For some reason the second layer printed higher than the 0.3 I had it set for, resulting in a weird band around the piece, but overall, pretty happy with it so far.
