Formbot T-Rex

[bigseb]

This printer, the Formbot T-Rex is one I was totally unaware of but has suddenly shot to the top of my list.

- Dual independent heads!
- Huge build volume! (400 x 400 x 500/700)
- Trapezoidal linear rails
- Ballscrews
- Auto-levelling

Oh I like that...... :- )

Thought you might. Only costs about 1600 quid. It is currently number three on the list of things I love.

 

[VoltsAndBolts]

I could build one much cheaper than that. Much.

 

[bigseb]

With IDEX?

 

[VoltsAndBolts]

I see there is opensource software to support dual heads. I build CNC machines for a hobby this should be easier, no cutting forces to deal with.

I have some old stuff posted over on CNCzone.com Lots of cool stuff over there (even an Alibre discussion)

My first machine, this one is long gone now.
