For D3D 3D printer - 12" heated bed, 16" frame:
- The sensor is on the left hand side in front of the extruder. This means that the configuration.h file must be changed.
- With the MK8 extruder, protruding as forward as much as it is, 2" of travel are lost on the y axis. This can be improved with an extruder that is more compact in the Y direction, such as Prusa i3 MK2 extruder.
- Endstop limits travel on X. Endstop location can be optimized on the left.
- On the right X, a spacer for axis mounting can extend X travel on the max X
- Y min trave is ok
- Z travel is only 7". 2" can be gained by modifying mounting of platform to Z axis by extending the mounting lower
- Z travel can gain 1" vertically by raising extruder tip by 1"
- There is a max of 10" available z travel on the Z axis based on the length of exposed rod.
- There is currently 11" of exposed Y rod
- There is currently 10" of exposed X rod, where additional length can be gained by the spacer on the right side of the X axis
