Your belt arrangement on the X axis is sort of opposite what it needs to be. You've got the bottom half of the belt loop running inside the t-slot, so it is parallel to the X axis guide rail, but the top half of the loop that attaches to the extruder carriage is not parallel to the guide rail. That will result in distorted prints and varying belt tension depending on where the extruder carriage is on the X axis. The belt loop half that attaches to the extruder carriage should be parallel to the X axis linear guide. The same applies to Y and Z axes, too, which I can't see in the photos.
Do you do anything to stop the X axis from falling if power to the Z motor is cut/lost?

I really like the cantilever design, If you look for something to stop your head crashing into the bed, I would suggest you to watch closely the Cetus 3d, they realeased a printed part that goes on the Z axe to prevent this...
Looking forward to see the files one thingiverse... And build one ?

When do you think you would release these files ? Keep up the good work...

I was wondering how/why you decided to stagger the carriages on Z probably a good choice, more support, easier to fit, better for your 2020, I cant remember why i decided to put mine inline, probably to save on Z height, and probably because I was just thinking linear, straight lines....

So as it is close to the first release, How are you gonna handle the position of the electronic and power supply ? Cable management and heated bed ? And, why a Dual Z rail, one would be sufficient ?
I think I will build one as soon as it is available
P.S. How do you ensure the belt are evenly tensioned ?

Basically cause they wouldn't fit next to each other on the 2040 rails lol.

Haha well I'm testing the final models right now. Stuff should be posted in entirety (CAD sources, STL, tutorial) by the weekend.

Price should be between 350 and 400 depending on what you already have in stock. You can use any controller board, so the price will obviously be much cheaper if you use RAMPs over Duet, etcQuote

Looks like a nice clean design - looking forward to seeing the rest of it!
I'm sure you will have a BOM as part of your build instructions... but what would you estimate the build cost to be?

I already got the motors, belts & some pulleys... So to build the printer i will only need electronic and extrusions and linear rails...
Where would you source them? i build a kossel not that long ago using robotdigg stuff (wich is okay, but the whole china sourcing is kind of not that eco-friendly...).
For the electronic I was thinking to buy a cohesion mini or another smoothieboard... As I am familiar with that firmware... What did you used ?
