By switching to a heated build chamber! I am interested in this proposed kit of yours! Would want to scale it up a bit. Do you like the magnetic effectors much more than the traxxas u-joint alternatives?
Much of the build time was spent sourcing materials and certain things, extrusion, screws, bearings, etc I bought in bulk to save on shipping costs. I figured I could put a complete kit of parts together for anyone who doesn't want the hassle of doing it themselves, it would also solve the eternal 'catch 22' that you need access to a printer to build a printer. I now have three working machines, my original Huxley, CP and CPII so I'm in a good position to produce the printed parts fairly quick. I managed to save to SD all the gcode for each part so I don't even need to hook the machines up to a PC to print off a parts kit. I also built a few jigs for machining the rod end cups and rods so that process is fairly simple to replicate too.
Magnetic connections to the effector are great. Easy to dismantle when required, reliable for printing and pretty much maintenance free. They look pretty cool to (:P)
