I have an ormerod 1 at the moment and really like the duet control solution with duet web control, especially because it is so well supported by dc42 and ch.
I have been struggling for some time to improve the quality of my prints and came to the conclusion that I needed a different printer, but what to get? I have considered trying to design my own from scratch.
What are the pros and cons of the various reprap printers?
What are the main problems with an own designed printer?
any pointers would be very helpful.

Regarding the layer shift in the Y direction, did you print the adjustable Z runner that was released a couple of months after the initial Ormerod 1 release, and if so, have you tried tightening it? Also, have you tried asking on the Ormerod forum for suggestions? I don't recall seeing any mention of this problem there.

The waves and holes in the Z direction puzzle me. Do you get them with all filaments?

If you are looking for another printer to build, I am fan of delta printers, so that's what I would recommend now. The main reasons not to use a delta IMO would be if you need a large rectangular print area, or you want to print a material such as Ninjaflex that does't print well with a Bowden extruder. You could build a Kossel from the BOM I list in my blog, or ask T3P3 to be a beta tester for their forthcoming large Kossel kit.

I don't know what you mean by '' adjustable Z runner '' I have an adjustable Y belt tensioner and the belt is as tight as it should be.

Great idea, have you noticed an improvement in print quality with your mini kossel compared with the ormerod?
