I’ve always contemplated designing my own printer but I didn’t know how to until I learned CAD, was quite the journey and I learned a lot (still a lot to learn) but I had a lot of fun designing it!

    That is far from begginer cad skills imo, impressive! Only thing that hurt my eyes (a bit 🤏) are cantilever bearing mounts in corners. It would be better if they had support from top as well. Btw that bed plate looks fat and cool

      Thank you! And yeah I do agree that cantilever bearings are a bit of an engineering sin. I thought about doing something about it but wanted to get the design going. Bed plate is a LDO Voron V0 kit which I really like for having its thermistor in the center!

        Well if you can tighten belts properly you are golden. Cantilever is not wrong, just requires bigger cross sections due to much higher load. Enjoy your printer mate
