I’ve been designing a large format printer for a while now (450x , 750y , 500z ) and man is it getting expensive fast. I knew it wouldn’t be cheap of course, and I’m certainly not cutting corners. I could use cheaper components, and smaller extrusion, linear rails, but then I won’t get the quality I’m looking for.I just dropped almost $500 on just chassis extrusion and fasteners via openbuilds.com, and they other day another $180 for a bed heater..So word to the wise, don’t forget, cost is NOT a linear function of size!I’ve got almost everything I need ordered, except e3d volcano x2 (going with IDEX design), and a new controller board. I bought an mks sbase but after learning more about it, won’t be using it or recommending it to anyone. http://ift.tt/2mOg5db
