Still a little more to do on the printer but its coming on slowly. Waiting on nuts and bolts, belts, Wire, Limit switches, some fans and a alu plate, Still need to finish the cross shaped z axis. Build area is smaller than i was hoping but this was due to changes in the z axis design.

My modifications
1) Modified carriage : Current Material PLA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icWlVEwQ9t4
2) Custom z axis cross shaped : Material PTEG
3) Modified motor mounts : Current Material PLA.
4) Extruder - Design is taken from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2386804 Material PTEG
5) Custom Endstops with and without limit switches : Material PTEG
X AXIS ; 2 MOTORS
Y AXIS : 2 MOTORS
Z AXIS ; 1 MOTOR
EXTRUDERS : 2 MOTORS
EXTERNAL DIMENSIONS 600MM (23.6INCHES) CUBED
BUILD AREA - CURRENT 435MM (17.1") X 435MM X 500MM (19.6"). However by having two extruders will also mean a reduction in build area per extruder.
Im planning on modifying the extruder mount later on too squeeze a extra 15MM for a maximum of 450MM (17.7")
Material print settings. What i use. as the max temp from my current printer is a extruder temp of 219c . & Anything over 219C for the warm up and the printer stops and cools down, However if i start the print at 219C, As soon as the extruder moves to start the print, i increase it up to 225C, That works, and then Bed 79C, Which is my max Bed temp. So you can see why i want a new printer.
