A couple of months ago i was sourcing parts to build a Delta printer and while i was doing i realized that i would prefer to have a big horizontal print area instead of a vertical one, so the concept for RepRap Tuga was born.
This concept should respond to this points:
-Static motor arrangement
-Speed of movements (X and Y)
-Big horizontal build volume (rectangular 400x180mm)
-Bellow 500€ cost
The resulting printer dimensions are aprox. 830x500x500mm
Some Weak points:
-Large horizontal printer size (double of the print bed).
-No heatbed for the first version
-Possible x/y axis wobble
-Arms mechanism untested in this arrangement.
Future Design Goals:
- Small version (250x120mm print bed)
- Try Vslots
- Replace side acrylic panels with printed ones (maybe prints holds to a wall)
- Put both horizontal carriages using the same smooth rods.

Build in 'Other Style 3D Printers' published by pdesigns, Jan 8, 2014.
This is a work in progress(not printing yet). Expect this instructions to grow with time, but for now it is mainly interesting for those who want to take part in developing this printer.

Special Notes
A Special tank to Roland (Repetier firmware developer) for all the efforts he has put so far in adapting the Repetier firmware so this printer might come to life.
