Bed Lift

Using 8 total 8mm universal axes on the Z axis, the printer is calculated to be able to lift up to 72lbs max before belt skipping occurs. With the bed weighing in at roughly 30-40lbs, there will be a minimum of 30lbs left for lifting the print. See GT2 Belts for notes on lifting power. Adding counterweights as was done in the D3D Giga build could enable prints up to the full 72lbs.
