Wanting to get back into 3D printing.

If reviving my (dated) Ordbot Quantum doesn't work out, was curious if there is a current/up-to-date 3D printer design which has its source in OpenSCAD files.

Nothing seemed obvious looking over the Reprap forums.

Am I missing a design? Or has 3D printing moved on?

Suggestions for an inexpensive 3D printer to build while self-sourcing?

I think all the Prusa printers are still open source.

I think 3D printers now are usually designed in other CAD software, like
Solidwork or Fusion 360, e.g. Voron.

AFAIK, all 3D printers can use files designed in OpenSCAD. Just create an
STL file when you're done with the design and use a slicer to create a
gcode file for the printer. I do it all the time for my Prusa printer.

Yes I also follow the same method of first creating an stl file and then
create gcode which works in the 3d printer.

Yes, but while they were originally OpenSCAD files, now they are provided as STEP.

I want to know if there is a current 3D printer which uses/provides .scad files for its source --- apparently not.

Now I guess I need to do digital archaeology to find the last such released model, or create something from scratch....

I don't know of any open sourced printers currently designed in OpenSCAD
although I think an older Prusa was. Sovol is a budget printer brand that
open sources several models including ones currently in production:
https://github.com/Sovol3d

I recently bought a Sovol SV07 with which I am quite pleased with and think
is an amazing bargain at this price:
https://www.3dprintersonlinestore.com/sovol-sv07-3d-printer
Although it isn't one of their currently open sourced models. Of those I'm
most interested in their latest, the core xy SV08 but I'll be waiting a
while to see if it might also be offered at a highly discounted sale price.
