Nicely priced 3D Printer
Tin Falcon:
So chuck what 2020 frame printer are you building. Looks related to the Ultimaker I like the looks of it .Ok after rereading I see it is a scratch build are you working off plans or on your own.
Sorry to hear the bad luck with the ramps . I fried an arduino board when I built my kit but no serious problems.
And looks like I led Tom down a long winding rabbit trail then down the hole.He bought a printer.

Hey Tin,
Kind of a convoluted story behind the design of my 3D printer. It all stared out as a Tantillus, a very small printer that is made up entirely of 3D printed parts, i bought off Craig's List several years ago. Then another fellow called goopyplastic on one of the 3D printer forums I used to follow, came up with some 3D printed parts that used 2020 extrusions to make a Tantillus variant. I used a TechShop Makerbot to print up the corner pieces, then decided to make the whole thing bigger by using longer 2020 extrusions. From there, I kind of made up my own design using the Ultimaker as a model. Long story short, I don't think I'm using any parts from the original Tantillus except one of the stepper motors... :shrug:
I just pulled the trigger on an Azteeg X5 mini, V3 controller board. I should have it Monday. With the Azteeg board, I can use a 24v power supply which should help with the printer bed heater and the stepper motor acceleration. I have high hopes for the print quality when I get it finished.

HMM I am considering another build but not sure if I want to attempt a scratch build .
I have two printers running a almost stock solidoodle 4 and a Prusa I3 kit I built.
I have been pondering

it is pretty big seems like a nice kit for $500.

Not only you Tin, but I have to admit, you helped.
I am now looking for a second machine. I am also looking at the same one you are, but so far the shipping costs to Canada and the exchange rate are holding me back.
