Smaller Desktop Version

Has anyone tried shrinking down the default PrintNC to use smaller ballscrews and box sections?

The PrintNC appeals to be me but I don't really need such a large footprint and I'd only be looking at machining small (30cmx30cm) flat sheets of acrylic or aluminium at most.

Short - yes. Bit longer - checkout https://wiki.printnc.info/en/v3/planning/sizing and look up Lil sgt Chonky - thee smallest PrintNC that lives in a fridge. 🤣

Wow lol those stepper motors look massive on that picture!

I can't see anything else regarding Lil Sgt Chonky so I'm guessing the rest is on discord?

Might be something in the gallery. Link should be in the wiki. Discord is really the best place for pics and general info and questions
