Hey makers had a question for all who might know. I am looking to get the A6 HT Acrylic with heat bed from Makibox.
The link is [store.makibox.com]
Yes I know its not RepRap BUT My goal is to make my own large allthread framed duel headed printer with RepRap Brains and tech. The reason I want the 300$ Makibox is cause it is $300 and it has the heat bed and I can make the
allthread rod connectors I need as well as head peace's and running gear. Or should I be looking at another printer.

Please note I am TOTALLY NEW to all this awesomeness.
Thanks every one.

So you want a high end sooper dooper printer?

"large allthread framed duel headed printer "

??What is "allthread" ?leadscrews"
??What do you mean by framed?

You are running the olympic 100m before you can crawl.

The makibox heated stage will be sufficient for small ABS prints.

Are you willing to wait perhaps 6-8 months for a makibox delivery?

IMHO these threaded rod construction printers are neat but Rube Goldberg!

Get a solidoodle or build an Ordbot Hadron and get to printing 3D
