Is it possible to use extruded Al structure with prusa electronics, software, firmware, etc ?

I also want to build a aluminum repstrap. Where can I start Please Help

Certainly, I don't think it matters. the electronics should work fine with any of the existing common designs. A major departure, like a pick-and-place type machine or a polar robot, would require different firmware, at least. which is probably why there's not more experimentation with those types of machines.

MendelMax is a Prusa, redesigned with aluminum extrusion. Electronics, software, firmware, and the x-axis all can be moved from an existing mendel (Sells or Prusa) without modification.
