The first approach of building a 1m³ printing RepStrap kind of fabricator.

The goal is to built a life-size fabber which will actually print BIG things..

   * the buildarea is 1m³ (big enough for printing a chair, a table, prosthetics, everything you need)
   * hanging gantry layout (because of the weight of the big stuff, i think it fits best although lightweight structures such as honeycombs for infills should be used for weight and material reduction)
   * milling/printing hybrid (long z-axis might be a problem for milling)
   * this machine will be in desperate need for support-material
   * because of its natural hunger for sptmtrl as well as for primary printing materials it will preferably consume compostables/ recycled materials
   * it will be based on the RepStrap and diy-mill designs

...other attributes will come along
