Hey! This thing is still a Work in Progress.
Files, instructions, and other stuff might change!

Description
A big RepRap style 3D Printer. The current build volume is about 700x700x500mm - where this needs to be improved since the footprint is more than 1m³.

Instructions
This is still Work in Progress. It DID work but there are still several problems. The Z-Axis is losing Steps and wobbles.
It will also take some Time to complete the BOM and the Instructions.
It uses makerslide.com/ the Open Source Linear Bearing System.
I use RAMPS1.4 and Marlin to drive it.

Did you tweak the firmware to use this mechanism to lift the Z-axis ? :)
(just seen the threaded rod, I thought you were pulling on the scissor)

Did you try to print full size object?
Now you can just attach laser and have nice laser cutter as well :)

when you're get that z-axis thing worked out and are ready for primetime, I'll be in line to download your printer. thanks for doing this
