@mrehorstdmd how much spare time do you have? I have a business proposal you may find interesting.

@zapta thanks so much for this. Strategically, I'm trying to stick with Amazon mainly for the return policy.

@mrehorstdmd oh the cad files are a massive help. Thanks so much.

@zapta a little pricier than I wanted but worth a look. Besudes, wouldn't modifications void the warranty?

@mrehorstdmd btw, what's that on the floor? Just motors?

@mrehorstdmd you didn't end up with anything like a BOM, perchance?

@fcwilt well I was referring specifically to the smaller stuff - bolts etc

@mrehorstdmd I asked this elsewhere, but where do you recommend going for mechanical parts? I'm getting most of the electronics from matterhackers but they don't even have framing.

Since I'm doing a custom build, I figured I'd at least look into a 1x1x2 volume. Will this work with a hotbed, or am I better off just building a delta later?

I'm looking at my first custom build, and I think I will buy most electronics (Duet included) from MatterHackers. However they don't really have any mechanical parts (framing, threaded rods, etc) or PSUs. Can I do any better than Amazon?

Thanks again

Joe

I'm planning my first custom build, a dual extruder unit with a hotbed. I have a bench power supply. Am I better off calculating power draw and buying supply in advance, or testing with a bench supply?

Thanks so much

Joe
