So about 3 years ago I purchased a Tevo Tarantula which is based on a Prusa i3 design which some people have found problematic. While the base design is fairly solid, it is made to a price point. So I went to it redesigning sections that have improved mine.
I will be adding these soon and a range of photo’s.
