I have a PrusaI3 clone with 5mm Acrylic frame I want to make it more stable - will make the frame out of 20mm40mm and 20mm20mm extruded aluminum Will have the same dimensions as my clone, but will be framed in the aluminum I'm thinking that changing the print bed to move down as to moving up Is this a doable option and is it done in the software of Marlin?by johnvictor - Extruded Aluminum Frames
