Adding 3D printer ability to my CNC / advice needed please

[dudz]

No single.
Well that's certainly cheaper than what i looked at thanks.
The driver I am looking at is around 29 pounds, and I have to get a 4 axis Bob as mine is a 3 axis (has to be USB controlled 200khz as I have no printer port = 65 pounds)
To get a double head setup.....buy two extruders and 2x nozzles ??

I guess the bed on ebay is "slightly better" as it comes complete, but then there is an added post charge. Does nobody make larger heated beds ? I'd like one the same size as my cutting bed 500x300

Apart from all the parts above and a custom made Z plate adapter for all of it, is there any other hardware needed (apart from cable/connectors) ?

I wonder if these are any good

yeah, the bed you can get from aliexpress . Here are the guys that actually make them , so they can make one for your exact machine but first check cause they have many sizes

I would rather start with only 1 good extruder and hot end than 2 bad ones. And build piece by piece the system if i dont have the cash to buy it right now.
I know its hard but you have to take the bullet if you want to sleep well in the future.

The better the system the better will look the final product and more precise.

Are the better beds the ones heated by the silicone type or the ones with copper strips ? ........

Ah Ha.... The silicone ones give better "all over" heat Transfer

I can't see how the silicone ones would mount to the top glass build plate

Now I know..... Silicone pad goes on metal plate, covered by Glass build plate
