I have been happily using a Mendel90 from nophead for 6 months. I wish to make larger prints so have started getting together parts for a 310x210x200 or so printer. I just want the extra size in the X or Y dimension.
I am wondering about the z motors bearing the weight of the x carriage. I have seen mention that this was a concern. I have 12mm smooth rods and LM12UU bearings. I am looking at the possibility of supporting the weight of the carriage on bearings instead of the Z motors. Am I wasting my time or is it worth doing?
