This thing has been bulletproof, I did upgrade to a glass plate
on the bed, but even before that it ran fine.<br>
<br>
I got a bed leveling sensor for $15 but still haven't got around
to installing it as I haven't really had much trouble with
levelling the bed with feeler gauges.<br>
<br>
It arrived pretty quickly, I think something like only 2 weeks.<br>
<br>
Prints to 235x235x250 and if you add the glass bed $30 you can
print over the levelling screw locations.<br>
<br>
I bought a bunch of thermal silicone heatsink pads which I
placed under the glass bed to allow heat transferrance to the
glass and meant I didn't need to use alligator clips to hold the
glass bed in place so I can print over the entire surface of the
glass.<br>

I'm looking for an absolute minimum of 200x200x200 print size, I'd like a
choice of materials (but I don't really know what the choices might be)
and if in kit form then not requiring a 3D printer to make some of the
parts (chicken & egg assembly).
My budget lies firmly in the 3 figure range but I'd go to the upper limit
of that for something decent that will last a while.
I'll also be looking for Linux modeling s/w that doesn't require a PHD in
topology.
Cheers
