Has anyone upgraded their prusa i3 to a Wilson II?
Hello everyone,,
Just wondering if anyone has made this conversion and if they have any tips. I bought a folgertech kit but have been making many upgrades including the motors and hotend. The Wilson II looks really nice, but I'm still looking into exactly what would be needed to swap out the frame.
Here's the model I'm referring to: http://reprap.org/wiki/Category:Wilson

Why?

The Wilson is an upgrade to old Prusa-style reprap printer designs that predate the i3 Mk3. Most users here are using the Mk3s which is generations beyond, so it's unlikely you'll find many others on the same path here. You might try reprap.org.
These days, you can pick up an inexpensive printer that incorporates most of these features for under $225, so unless you just enjoy the challenges, I wouldn't spend too much time or money on it.
