Here is a mockup of the scale of LISA. It is bigger than I thought but not so big it can't fit on a desktop. I know a lot of people don't like the PVC but after hammering the PVC into the milled sockets for just one board I get a structure that is good enough for slow printing. Once I get the bottom plate it will probably be good enough for normal printing. With the tension from the screws it will be prefect for fast printing.
The main reason I am using PVC is that it is simple and I have a lot of it laying around. (FREE!) It will be great for this prototype. For those that want to conserve desk space, I would suggest going with a design like Dannydefe's. You could fit everything into a 16" diameter circle easy. Currently, the PVC makes the foot print 21" in diameter.
