Welcome to the SeeMeCNC Community

I'm looking for a good 3D printer design so a team of four 10th grade students to assemble. I've been looking around but I haven't found a design I really like.

The requirements;
Must be a RepRap (the kids should use the Kossel I've been working on to create a new printer)
Should have either an available kit (without printed parts) or a good BOM.
Should have good build documentation
It shouldn't be a basic Cartesian or a Delta. (Trying to expose the students to more motion systems, we have a makerbutt and the Kossel. SCARA, Parallel Kinematics, CoreXY, Polar, or anything else would be awesome)
Should be less than $1000 for all new parts.

We already have a RAMBo and an LCD we can use. The plan is to strap a Cyclops/Chimera onto it in the end for dual color prints.

I have one design in mind but the documentation isn't that great. More ideas are welcome (trying to get a short list and let them decide)

If you want something really unique, polar and SCARA are the ones I would go with.

Do some research before you get away from the delta/Cartesian printers. You will have to support this and figure it out when it breaks.

Not sure how much you've followed him, but Nicholas Seward has some pretty interesting printers.

I find his GUS simpson to be pretty cool looking and fairly simple-looking to assemble.

The teacher running the class and I concluded we'd best go with something more well supported, when I leave in a couple weeks they will be out of luck on how to run it, so we just ordered a MAX. It's actually around half built
