I have a modified BQ Hephestos at home. Sometimes the print-area is too small and the moving y-axis is not optimal for printing bigger parts. I started to design a new printer, which will fit my needs in the future. There are a lot of CoreXY printers, but few with prusa-axis. For stiffness and squareness I use ITEM aluminium extrusion profiles. I wanted the x-carriage multifunctional, so I attached electrical connectors, which I can use for 1 or 2 extruders, or even for a laser (plug and play like). All guides are 12mm and the Z-threads are TR8x2. The side plates of the x-axis are planed as acrylic plates. The system looks a little bit heavy, but I'm not printing at high speeds.
