Can anyone recommended a good option? I was thinking kind of like maker bot wherd I cut the plywood parts and get a kit of the mechanisms. Though I guess maker bot is outdated now?

Thanks!
I have a Wanhao i3 prusa type printer, had it a while and very impressed with the quality of print. I think mine was about £280 though but it did come assembled. You may find cheaper versions with acrylic frames but the all metal frames are much sturdier.
