This build will hopefully be 18x18x24 build space using RAMPS 1.4 with Marlin firmware. Using NEMA 17 motors and belts to drive the X and Y axis, lead screws for the Z axis. The build plate will be heated with a delrin Y carriage for the glass and heatbed. Z axis motors will be top mounted. Possibly and ATX power supply.

Large printer Cartesian I3 style

    Looking forward to more details. Just wondering if using lead screws for X and Y is a good idea. Most commercial printers seem to use belts for X and Y, and lead screws for Z

    Sorry that was meant to just say belts on X and Y axis but I will keep this updated. I will fix it as well, but yeah lead screws on X and Y would be way too slow for a printer good for a mill but not a printer.
