Hi
I would like to build a second printer. I've searched on thingiverse but without a success.
Does anyone know a 3D printer with this specifications
- not a bowden
- not a Delta
- max build size 150mm x 150mm
- most parts must be printed.

I wish you hadn't said non-delta...because i think it would be so cool to see one of these made:

I was watching the Makibox from original "kickstart" or their own equivalent and, month after month, no printer.
Are they in production yet? Is there any feedback coming in from real users yet? I gave up waiting and got my Max instead - yes, it was a big jump up in outlay but zero regrets, the max is gorgeous.

The Sipmsons printer looks funky, but I think its a funny printer not a god one.
Prusa i3 its to big for me and the makibox its not a reprap.
The new printer must have lot parts that I can print on the max.

I had the same concerns - but their blog shows lots of boxes in December - orders for 1,000 of them, etc. I have emailed them, their team has grown, etc.
I ordered a stainless version. I am hoping for the best. I need a second printer to expand my skills and to understand more about what's out there. I'm hoping I get lucky. We'll see. It appears that, after a read in the forum, everyone is on the basics end of things - not like this forum; where there are heavy modders... reinforces everything I know about this product and it's community.

Well, these appear to be partial but real shipping stats for the Maki:

Of course there are pages and pages of cancelled orders too:
