Like v2 and plan to build one, thank you for the time and effort you put into creating, sharing and supporting these builds.
Recent posts about the origin/history of the V1E logo got me wondering…
Given linear rail prices. To reduce cost, and make build more affordable for folks, especially if they want custom/large dimensions. Was EMT considered instead of linear rails for z axis, maybe other axis too? With printed parts mounting EMT rails to frame/box.
Or go further even to optimize for cost, without compromising quality, and use EMT instead of 2020 for portions of the box frame even? Personally, I liked that v1 plybox helps provide structure at reduced cost, but also helps improve prints by reducing unwanted air flow.
2020 alu frames look cool. But looking at my LR3, I really love how it sticks it’s finger up at other comparably sized $$$ CNCs. The finger is pointing to a better way of course, not sure what you assumed
