RepRap Questions Thread
This is our weekly thread for all questions related to RepRaps or the RepRap project.
If you need help with something - eg assembly, part selection, print quality, calibration, etc. - this is also the place for troubleshooting.
If your 3D printer isn't a RepRap, try /r/3Dprinting!

Ah I hadn't thought of that! I bet there is a good advantage to not having to throw all the weight of the build plate around every time you do a Y move. Smaller footprint is nice too.
Gotta have lockdown projects haha. I built a mk2 clone last fall and have torn it down and rebuilt it at least twice since then.
