Comment on If you had $1500 to spend
mickeyripple@lemmy.world 1 week agoI see their kit, very cool. I’m alright if I have to solder. My neighbor can help out, they have a complete workbench setup for electronics and I believe they even have the crimpers I would need.
I’m going to go for the 350mm bed. I’m tired of being limited on the build plate of the Vyper. Are there any suggestions for bumping up the base kit? I see there are a lot of options for this kit.

I replied to another post with a list of mods, so take a look at the other comments in the post for some out of box mods.
As a 350 owner, be aware of two things.
First, big bed = big chamber = heat soak takes a while and you have a lot more surface area to lose heat from. If you want to print big ABS/ASA parts you’re going to want ACM panels, a better sealed/insulated front door, and potentially a radiant layer inside the printer.
Second, the big printer limits your rate of acceleration some compared to a smaller CoreXY. IMO if you have a big printer to print big things you’re probably not going to have small/finely detailed parts that often. Those are the kinds of parts that will go a touch slower. But honestly 5k acceleration is orders of magnitude faster than most bed slingers can achieve and 10-15k is only a 2-3x increase so you’re not giving up that much.
Other than than, no regrets about the 350.
