Need suggestions for a robust 3D printer stand for the 5-tool Prusa XL
I have a space that is 45 inches wide (114 cm) by 30 inches (76 cm) deep. That's the size of tabletop that will fit there. I've like to find a super-secure 3D printer stand to put my 5-tool Prusa XL on. This would have enough room for the enclosure I plan to put on there as well as allow me to remove the side-mounted filament spools to put those in dryers that are along the side of the XL. Some nice shelves or drawers for tools would be nice. On the wall behind the printer I will have room for a wall-mounted cabinet for frequently-accessed filaments to be stored. Any suggestions? I am surprised an internet search didn't yield a bunch of things. In the US many toolchests are 46" wide and those just won't fit. Thanks!

I've also been looking into getting a Prusa XL, and I'll need a stand for it. This AV cart looks about the right size:

What do you think?

I have mine on cinder blocks. It's robust, has "shelves" and cost me all of $8 at home depot. However I do have an extra four blocks for a "step" to reach the top of the dry box and printed some TPU "feet" for the blocks, so maybe $20 all in.
I might paint the blocks eventually.

After painting the blocks with black truck bed paint (and straightening the blocks), it even looks nice.

As far as I'm concerned, this pic won Prusa Forum for me today. Its the kind of thing my dad would thoroughly enjoy - a printer on cinderblocks!
