This is a bear-style 3d printer modified to fit a Prusa mini bed. This design has a custom linear rail y-axis, a motherboard case for an SK2 and Pi0, a PSU case for an HRP-300-24 (slimmer form factor), modified x ends for anti-backlash nuts, and a y-axis cable chain design for the y axis.
I opted to use an HRP-300-24 as the PSU as it is a slim enough form factor to not hang off the back, as well as provides enough amps for the smaller printer. I designed this in an effort to always be capable of upgrades it when new bear revisions are released. Because of this, I will not need to go through a mirroring effort. This was capable due to the cable chain design that runs the heated bed wires below the printer.
The SKR2/Pi0 Case is slim to not hang off the back of the printer, and it can print on a standard Prusa mini bed.
