1Difficult to add full instructions but.........
Whilst it's going to be very difficult for me to write a step by step guide as to how I built the legs, I am going to start adding some very basic insructions on what I did to start the process of trial and error that governs how I am proceeding. I guess the very first thing I needed was to design and print some parts. I started with a 'Velleman' K8200. Mainly because it is cheap and was stocked in my local Maplins.
This printer took 2 whole days to construct, so my first advice would be, maybe go with something else!!!!
My next printer will be the Creality CR-10. It looks to have an amazing quality when printing and is almost as cheap. However the main benefits to this printer would be that it can print 30 x 30 x 40 , which is pretty big for that price range.
I then had to learn some form of CAD. I chose Sketchup. Quite simply because at the time it was completely free and seemed like a very quick to learn design tool. If I could liken it to anything I would say it's like having MS Paint but with 3D!!
