I am not sure which direction to go ... there are so many modifications , and everyone's machine is different , environment is different ; so I know I just have to get some stuff together and see what goes wrong. I have concluded that I am going to get the standard "release" printed , and go from there. I am confused as to the servo and non servo leveling. Until I got deep into the older pages here , I hadn't heard anything about servos... I also dont see what would hold the enstop or servo... and can only make it out in one or two of the pictures I have pulled...
I also dont see anything about the extruder. The bowden setup looks good , but I dont see anything for it in the BOM or the stl's. Do I just pick what design I want? Other than that , I only have about 47 more questions...
Is there a version with single gt2 belts and dual tensioner/idlers ? Is the m5 still used for Z? Has anyone thought to add a second support pillar out front , and run a beam attached to the bed , to keep the whole thing a little more sturdy? When I have my plastics printed , is there any reason not to use transparent material? What kind of infill should I ask for ? The guy printing for me does each part (or multiples) individually , to avoid catastrophic miscalculations , so I could essentially ask for things like the Z coupler to be stronger. Worth it?
A few ideas to remove the last motor from the uprights , but I am sure I'm well ahead of myself at this point...
Thanks for the replies !

Also Regpye has a really cool stand alone Y axis that could be added if you want more rigidity on the axis (If only it had rack and pinion) and i think his axis would be a lot better suited to extending the build size if you wanted to.

Thanks for the replies.
I am at the point now of overload... This is a great forum. I thought the plastics would be hard to find , or expensive compared to the other needed parts , but itl turns out that the members here are very generous. I may take you up on the offer reg , but I dont know if I'll have the cash this month. I have liked your design since the first time I saw it. Aluminum fin heatsink and 118 degree lands make me confident that I wont be fighting leaks and jamming. Which heater do you recommend ? the 3A heater cartridge seems like overkill if the 3w resistor works ...not that there is anything wrong with overkill...
Off to source some local broken printers ...

The problem I see with resistors is that if you try to go faster they can't melt the filament fast enought. A 30W heater cartrige works better in this case. Also they heat up faster.
Dan.
What are the disadvantages of the cartrige, if any?
