Had to edit this post 4 times due to the problem you were describing. All paragraphs etc gets mashed into one big cluster of words. Really annoying.

I was thinking about getting the Duet Wifi or a Smoothieboard. I guess they both would do the trick - so I'll just see what I end up with.

When it comes to the step/dir compatible servos, could you give me a link to an example? I've tried to find some, but without luck.

When it comes to the sound I want to get away from; I'll admit my prejudice is based on other 3D printers (My China kit in particular). But even the Stratasys we have at work (apparently a very expensive printer according to my superior) is noisy as hell. It's a pretty noticeable motor sound from it - a sound I have never heard from servos. Therefore my presumption that servos in most cases should be quieter. But of course, AC/DC or Brushed vs. brushless is also a factor. I was thinking going for a AC brushless servo. Also, the videos I've seen of guys converting to servo-drive on their 3D printers seem to gain quite amazingly low noise levels.

I was thinking of going for something like this; https://www.ebay.com/itm/JMC-100W-0-...gAAOSwAbpdZNwc

I'm starting to think making my own Arduino controller is my only shot to make it work with something like that though. I came across something called ServoStrap here the other day, and it seems to be exactly what I need. I just need to play around with it for a bit, and see what I can make of it. I'll have to build a test-bench of similar controls first though.

It recently came to my attention that we have quite knowledgeable contacts on the subject through my employer. A collage of mine will introduce me when possible - so maybe I can get some help from that end on how to attack this.

I definitely see the potential in this for a lot of hobbyists, but I would rather put the extra money into a propper servo with encoder. Thanks a lot tho, I am sure I can put that to good use in other projects.

I don't have any specific parts that needs to be that big. However, I am planning to have quick exchangeable extruders, so I can switch materials, and nozzle sizes faster. This includes a Volcano setup with 1mm or 1.2mm nozzles. I've never printed with these before, but I presume they would make it easier to build large things with less warping. For example a chassis or larger constructions. For the most part regarding the size, I want a big build area for printing large series of different parts at once. Print times doesn't really worry me, but I agree on the increased chances of something going wrong. I am willing to try nevertheless. Thanks a lot for your input!
