A radical reinterpretation of Tech2C's design sans printed parts, my response to the classic Catch 22 conundrum when building a 3D printer without access to standard printed components. I opted for the SCS10Uu bearing housing as the linchpin that allows bolting all aluminum pieces together seamlessly. Approximately 1M of 25 x 12mm aluminum bar and 1.8M of 3mm thick 25mm equal angle were utilized in this DIY endeavor. Opposing hooks served as a display bracket, while a modified angle grinder key functioned as the spool holder - a testament to creative problem-solving. Challenges arose during construction, with the first component failure being the PSU power plug on an economy RAMPS board. This was subsequently upgraded to spare screw terminals. Heatsinks on power MOSFETs are also a personal preference, as evident in the RAMPS picture.
