So with the features out of the way...
I've moved away from my former apartment/workshop. And I am now living with my family.
With that, comes compromises, I had to give up my workshop, bedroom and well all my hobbies, for the time being.
And focus on my family needs, but my fingers kept itching for something to do.

So the Artsy was starting to form in my mind while at work, so with all my previous designs behind me and new
knowledge and info. I set out to create this printer that could suite my current needs and situation.

Why the name Artsy?
Well one can't have a industrial looking machine in the living room without hearing complaints from the Misses and the kids :P
So it's going to painted in a color scheme accepted by the misses, and with artstyle either engraved on the outside of the printer, or via a sticker combo.
