Finally, after about two kg of filament (mostly failed prints), the chassis is done. From now on, it's an integration task - installing motors and wiring electronics. The body is done.

Shot of the competed printer with a can of coke inside. Yep, it's small. Here's a comparison shot with a Makerbot Thing-O-Matic:

How about a comparison between machine size and build volume? The Thing-O-Matic is 300 x 300 x 400 mm, with a build volume of 100mm^3. The ratio of build volume to machine size for the Takerbot is 1:36.

My machine is 150mm^3, and I should have a build volume of 45mm^3. That's close to a ratio of 1:27. My machine has a larger build volume to machine size than a thing-o-matic. Of course that's a terrible metric, but it is a statistic I will be using for the inevitable million dollar kickstarter.
