Great work Simon!!! When are you thinking of making some kits available? I have had a few requests already...

Me too, I'm just not sure how to go about doing it or how much of a kit to offer - do people want a full kit or just the plastics etc.
There is one more mod I want to make first plus I need to finish the new x-carriage and bowden tube extruder setup then it will be all go
But then I'm also waiting for the alloy printer decks to turn up from the Water Cutting Company in Wellington plus the LCD panel to arrive from Royco Kickstarter along with my Azteeg X3 it will run so when it is finished it will be a true stand-alone printer - phew.

Simon you do have an eye for beauty!!!
Start with just the plastics I would say. As you add more features update the design. The people that buy the first designs can always print the upgrade parts them self's or modify it to work with there needs.
That way you will also get some funds in for more R&D.

Bit more progess on the x-axis, printing the x-carriage tonight.

Finished the bowden tube setup tonight, ran out of yellow PLA so I will have to wait a couple of days before reprinting these parts in the right colour.
Printable height is looking very promising at over 200mm ...

I want one! 
Let me know when you have a kit finalised, might as well start building the "family".

Will do, you'll be number 2 then
I want to test run the x-carriage to see how it handles the temprature. I have been using an extruder I designed with a built-in j-head clamp and was printed in PLA without any problems so it should be fine. Worst case is I have to print this part in ABS but I'm not eager to do that.
I also have a fan mount to go on here but I will wait until the yellow PLA turns up.

Some updates showing the alloy plates I had water jet cut plus I have reprinted the carriage in yellow PLA.
Now I'm just waiting for my Azteeg X3 to arrive then I can make it all go.
