Current 3D printer design which has OpenSCAD source?
Wonderful work done!!

Here is one designed in OpenSCAD by Martin Budden using my NopSCADlib
library. He also did a smaller version.

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?

No starter level printer is worth its freight to get it to you if you
really want to print anything. They only come with PLA rated hot ends
and pushing the temps up to handle other plastics will quickly demo that
they are black holes for money.
My fav printer ATM is a much modified Ender5 Plus, which can use
polycarbonate as if it was PLA, but I have around $2500 in it. X/y
motors are now closed loop stepper/servo's. running on 72 volts for
supply. Bed heat is boosted to 36 volts with an 800 watt supply. Hot
end is 100% assembled, goes to 300C but nozzle heaters are about 100
hours use to fail, so I buy those in 10 packs. Nozzles are carbide,
better than diamond, don't evaporate like 3x priced diamonds. Which
slowly go away like ice on a 33F day at temps high enough to do PETG.
The next printer as I need about 3 to produce my product, will be a
Sovol sv08 with a 300C hot end, but like the E5+ will have the closed
loop motors which will bring it to about $1000 ready to build something.
If you want to spend time baby sitting a $150 printer to get one good
part in 6 try's jump right in. If you want to design your prints in
OpenSCAD and get usable parts on the first try by sending the gcode from
the slicer to the printer and go get that part when its done, build your
own good printer. That choice is yours to make. A bit like Iowa roads
in the 1940's that divirge, both will get you there, choose wisely as
you be on it for the next 20 miles.

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....
or better yet, buy something with a decent frame that can be
triangulated to stiffen it, and rebuild on that. Do not buy a kit, they
expect you to print the plastic parts, but won't supply the files to
print them.

William:
For well under $2,000 you can buy great Prusa printers, all set up and
ready to go. Also Bambu and probably Creality and Elegoo.
If you want to build a printer, that's different; if you want to print,
then you are just a few days away from doing just that.
