    Anyone have a 3d printer build using c-beam and the build plate with lead screw drive for the Y axis ( or any I guess)? I would love to have a look at even a belt drive build. Trying to figure out placement / spacing of the wheels and nut block.

    Can’t seem to easily find any examples in the builds.

    Thanks

    Do you really mean C beam? They are 80x20. Huge printer is it?

    Well 330 x 330 x 400. I was thinking about using it in the middle. Single C-beam for Y xis carrying the plate on wheels.

    Nice. Edited. I had asked fr you to share your files, but I am looking to do a horizontal c-beam and mount the OB heat bed plate on MGN rails that way.
