Fantastic! Almost as good as a big delta! (Sorry, couldn't help it.)
In all seriousness, it looks like you've built a very nice machine there. Keep us updated with more details.

Wow. Great build. What do you print with it? It looks production run ready.
-
Wow! A beautiful printer. A video would be lovely when you have time. Here I was thinking my custom printer was a good size at ~300mm square.
Nice idea with the cheap stretched plastic enclosure, i might have to borrow that:) -

@deckingman large printer club?
I feel inadequate....
Amazing job Justine. I continue to be impressed. Getting 4 heads to print concurrently over that area is a major engineering feat.
-
Fantastic build! The tool mount looks very interesting. Waiting for more pictures.
-
Whoa thanks everyone. I'll take some detail shots of the toolhead mount soon. Also been debating about whether to publish the BOM and design files.
By the way, that big black bowl-looking thing is half of an integrating sphere.
-
Sweet looking Printer. The print quality on that sphere looks fantastic!

I didn't notice that - I was too busy looking at the tin of Piroulines

I'm curious at how you made your cost structure for big parts.
I'm also looking into building a big machine like this for some of my customers that need big parts (mostly for investment casting).
However my actual cost structure (excel sheet) gives me ridiculous prices. I figured that since i'm outputting a lot more plastic per minute (1.0mm vs 0.4mm nozzle) the cost should be adjusted but was curious to see how other figured this outBTW, loving the quality of the build here. Everything seems well thought. Have you considered using some insulation panels on the side instead of just the plastic sheet?
