>V-rollers are actually probably better than linear rails or guide rods for anything with chemicals involved.
I mean we're talking distilled/deionized water here, not too fancy chemicals. That said, yeah, i'm absolutely sticking to PC-rollers.
>My only worry would be that the greater mass on the build plate might sag due to its cantilevered design
That'll be changed into a 4point system.
>and you've still got the Z screw and guide rods to get gunky
Besides not seeing too much of a problem here, theyll be covered eventually. The greater goal would be to eventually get a system that completely removes electrode from the dielectric before finishing.
>An ender 5+
Too big, don't wanna deal with the extra tolerances
>or Pro
Looked into it, but seemed largely less mod friendly.
>or or whatever might be better suited for you, idk.
Yeah, that's what i'm looking for. Second best is a tronxy and suddenly the whole chart drops to nothing. I thought we were swamped by these things at some point? Luckily I already found a local offer of an E5 for 80€ with BTT board+2208 included, which should be plenty to get started.
>May well be less hassle to build a frame from scratch.
Devil lies in the details, buying frame pieces, roller brackets, screws and wheels all on their own racks up the price quickly. Now if i had an EDM...
Jokes aside, an existing frame is also a pretty reasonable solution to not giving in to the inner autism of overengineering the whole thing.
>Also you should plan to experiment with electrochemical additive manufacturing.
Funky, but i do intend to build a machine for actual use, not a research project. Maybe somewhere in the future.
