I played with shrinking the printer in the way I mentioned above. It was quickly evident that having the dropped bed would not work with the smaller footprint. The design changes quickly started stacking up for what amounted to a 50mm decrease in the footprint. I am not one to worry about the footprint excessively so I have currently ditched any ideas of compressing the design. Bottom line: I can make her smaller with the same print volume but it isn't pretty. I vote for elegance.
