I've always contemplated designing my own printer but I didn't know how to until I learned CAD, was quite the journey and I learned a lot (still a lot to learn) but I had a lot of fun designing it!

Reminds me a little of the Rook design. CoreXY right? Tell us more about it!

Yes, watching Rolohaun's stream inspired me to go for it! as far as the design go, I tried my best to make all sides flush for ease of enclosing, voron style belt paths and avoiding making too many parts for easier assembly, I'll release the files on printables soon once everything is well tested
