Build is done, video of it printing below. I would need a new hotend as the nozzle is leaking.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDs9L_MSM3o videoby aidilj - Tantillus
Controller board used for the Tantillus is the Anet board taken from my Anet A8. It is paired with Raspberry Pi Zero W running Octoprint for wireless access. Right now, more parts are due to arrive like the printing platform and Bowden tube. Next I would need to decide whether to use an internal power supply or external power brick.

Below are some differences in this build from the original design Metric fasteners and rods instead of imperial because those are easily available where I live GT2 belt instead of strings, stringing looks like a chore and I found a mod on Thingiverse which was further improved E3D V6 lite instead of J-Head, using parts from the parts bin Aluminum off-the-shelf extruder instead of the printed onby aidilj - Tantillus
This is a printed case Tantillus but the cases parts were combined to become three sections - top, middle and base. The base was trimmed shorter and the bottom Z bracket embedded into the STL. I'm no 3d designer and all work is done in Meshmixer. The case is printed with 1mm nozzle, 0.5mm layer height, material is eSUN PLA+. Each section takes around 7 hours to print. Stringing, not yet caby aidilj - Tantillus
