So after quite a bit of learning and breaking and fixing and learning and breaking and fixing I have a much better understanding of the gMax capabilities, at what point PLA parts can melt, at how many point something can break, and why you really should use the ini files with the slic3r program. All good lessons. I definitely have a better appreciate for v-slots.
Before I decide that I need to raise the printing height 10", I thought I might instead extend the printing bed 10". I'm looking to print enclosure frames for 20H aquariums which have a standard width of 12" and height of 24". I'm wondering if it might be better to extend the bed father than 10" and rebuild the acrylic where the wheels for the v-slots are located, so there is a larger distribution of space to handle the size of the bed.
Any thoughts on the matter are appreciated. It's nice to have a fully working machine! My only wish is that there was a way not to have the bed move at all.
