Drawbot Evolution 3D Printer by warham

It appears the russians beat me to the punch..https://www.sibtechno3d.ru/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDCMGSHGiDs
Early Work in Progress- a concept, do not attempt to build yet unless you want to help with the cad work. Which is much appreciated~!
If the Drawbot and the hypercube evolution made a baby this is what the result would be.
This project is just starting and will be a remix of those other projects or something similar.
I am not a CAD person, therefore this will probably be something that will hopefully have contributors if others see the vision that I have.
To start I will make a proof of concept from available projects.
The premise for this is to build something smaller and cheaper than a hypercube but retaining the large build size and quality. The goal is that similar to a delta printer the printed part will never move. I find this to be an issue with traditional printers.

This will use dual 12mm Z guide rods.
