Hi Brent
I won't be releasing the V3. It's just a scaled up version of the V1 (on Thingiverse) with new components from the Sakura Rev 3 (also on Thingiverse). The V2 was purely an experiment to see how cheaply I could build a printer that gave acceptable results. V3 moves away from printed parts for the Z Axis carriage and mounts in favour of items fabricated out of spare bits of aluminium alloy angle I had left over from an aeroplane build project and commercially available bearing holders and rod bearers. Due to the increased Z height and the wobble I experienced on V1 I used 16mm diameter rods for Z, just because I had some in my workshop. I just fabbed up what was needed I didn't make any drawings or sketches so it's hard to publish

Andy,
I just came across a youtube video of the PrntQB V3 printing... [www.youtube.com]
Are you going to release it soon?
I also noticed that it looks like you went back to using the belts instead of the spectra line. What was your reason behind that decision?
Thanks,
Brent
