Hello, I've been using a Prusa i2 for the last few months and have been loving what it has allowed me to do. I however am looking to build a new printer with an increased build volume that is hopefully fast and more accurate. I was recently able to grab a RAMPS, stepper drivers, and 4 stepper motors for next to nothing and was hoping to put them to good use. However I'm trying to decide on what the best model would be to build and I was hoping I could get some feedback from people know about each type. I'm currently trying to decide between making a Rostock (e.g. Kossel with heated build plate) and a Prusa i3. What are the pros and cons of each? What I want: heated build plate faster than the i2 more accurate than the i2 >~12" vertical build volume Thanks https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,357610,357610#msg-357610 Wed, 15 Jul 2026 06:28:21 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,357610,369059#msg-369059 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,357610,369059#msg-369059 diytechshop General Thu, 12 Jun 2014 19:30:13 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,357610,357610#msg-357610 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,357610,357610#msg-357610 I've been using a Prusa i2 for the last few months and have been loving what it has allowed me to do.

What I want:
heated build plate
faster than the i2
more accurate than the i2
>~12" vertical build volume
