update on the hacked up cubify cube from eBay…

I could find a bed but was not going to spent $100 on it.

designed this holder for a 3mm board that will be the build plate, this mock up was printed out in PETG and mounted to make sure this was feasible, now the part is going to be milled out of aluminium for more rigidity. The bed will be mounted on top with the stand off, working on bed levelling ideas now might cheat and go with a BLtouch since I have one here not being used at the moment.

Good idea doing a proto type before committing it to aluminum. How thick is the plate going to be?

3mm for the aluminium and the build plate is 5mm thick piece of chalk/wood board from local craft store.
this has been a learning experience, even if it is my 5th printer or so to build/rebuild
