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.

    Tanks for the good feedback.

    I've uploaded a small video of the printer homing movement (once again this is not yet functional).

    I will keep updating this build whenever there is progress.

    Cheers,

    Facinating. Only issue I can see is, that the bed has linear bearings that are not very long. It is a counterlever design but maybe adding more sepearation if there are 2 bearing on each side. Or add a second bearing above the first at the level of the print bed?

    very interesting design...
    I wonder how it will behave without bracings (I don't see them). Aren't they needed ?
