Ive been gifted a Velleman K8200, is it possible to....

[curious aardvark]

it's an I3 design.
So the bed just goes backwards and forwards. The print head already goes left to right and up and down.

To make the head go backwards and forwards as well. You'd need to build a cubic frame and turn it into a cartesian style printer.

IE: build a brand new printer from scratch :-)
Nothing wrong with an i3.

No it's not. On a Velleman 8200 the print head is fixed in X and Y and the bed moves in both axes. It's a hilariously terrible design.

OP, It's worth hanging on to as the frame is solid as hell. However, I'd recommend collecting parts until you have enough to build a new machine using the frame of the Velleman. I made this from a K8200, using scrap parts from a Tron X5SA and a few other bits and pieces.
