Style:
Sleek and minimalistic. No screen, just a power button. You can go for an ultra-modern design (apple) or a retro-futuristic 50's design (Jetson's TV show). Use the color scheme in the attached company logo.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dimensions:
**Print area must be 300mm wide by 200mm deep by 200 mm tall.
**There needs to be an extra .02 cubic meters of room for electronics and
other components either beneath the print area or behind it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other:
**The front, right, and left sides should be all or mostly gray acrylic glass. Everything else should be solid. (leave the top 70mm solid to hide the extruder and motors)
**Modeling motors and extruder is not necessary!
**The print bed must move up and down so it needs one screw and two guiding rods behind it. (see attached picture)
**Include the company logo somewhere on the printer.
30% Rendering: We plan to show this image to investors and it is crucial that we look professional.
50% Originality: Standing out from the crowd is very important. Look at other 3D printers (formlabs, Ultimaker) for inspiration but make sure that your design catches people's eye while standing out from the crowd.

I understand it's tricky to describe. It will be fully enclosed and the front, left, and right, sides will be/have windows. Google the ultimaker 3D printer to get a sense of what I am talking about. I would also like the windows to not go all the way up to the top so the extruder and motors can be hidden from view. Please reach out with any questions, I will respond ASAP.
Thank You,

Just to clarify this is an enclosed 3D printer. Please reach out to me with any questions and I will respond ASAP.
Thanks,

I do not have a preference on the software. Something that is commonly used would be nice but it isn't very important.

Thanks!
Buyer
Great question, I believe something around 3cm-4cm of clearance in all directions would be adequate.
Caleb

What clearances would you want between the print-bed and the external frame of the printer. Also between the extruder work area and top portion of printer body (so that the extruder can freely utilize the print-bed without touching the sidewalls of the printer)
Buyer
It is an addition type printer. The main focus at this point is more on the design of the printer rather than the technical details. I don't particularly like the design of this printer but I am looking to have the extruder hidden in a similar fashion.

Don't worry about modeling the extruder or filament holder. Also for the volume, the size is not important as long as it is roughly a normal rectangular shape. If you wish to model the motors and power screws they will be similar to a Prusa I3. As for the large printbed I believe a cantilevered bed will work. A head that moves in the x y and z-direction seems like it would be trickier to design but if you think it's doable I am open to see the design :)
A suggestion, with a printer to print so large size (heavy model) that to on a cantilever bed, it would be better to have a static bed and moving print head, which has a static weight and lower than the printed model with bed. Where would you like to have filament holder and the filament loading motor ?
