Gotta love finding hidden treasures that can be repurposed!
Fascinating Marty! Was it tough to build? Looking to build one myself. Any particular spare parts to order, or is it all house made?
Again, nice job!

I’m diggin it!
thanks for the comments guys…
@Pierre_Brown nothing in particular was needed, the initial plan was to build an enclosure to keep the print bed from cooling to much between prints, along with its own levelling platform, to keep it straight, I knew what I wanted, I just needed stuff to build from, on the first trip to the dump (recycling centre) I seen the old tv cabinet (see my older pics) I knew that would kind of do the job, just needed some fine tweaking, all the other bits & bobs I had kicking about the shed,
now I just need it to print correctly!
still some fine tuning to do… 
Looks ready to do some nasty printing great work marty
