Can you print the chair at reduced scale on a flashforge AD5X printer

Hi, I’m really keen to print a TMT but I only have a glashforge AD5X wh9ch had a print bed size of 220 x 220 x 220 whereas the instructions say you need 256 x 256 x 256.

Do you think it would work if I printed everything at 85% scale?

Part of agreeing to make these is to not modify them, so I’d say 85% scale isn’t OK. Besides, you will end up with a quite small wheelchair that doesn’t fit it’s intended purpose

Also if it is 85% scale, the hardware (casters, bolts, bearings) won’t fit.

There are some parts that can be printed on your AD5X, so maybe you could print those and partner with somebody who has a larger printer for the other parts. Or use it as an excuse to buy another printer (that’s what I did).

This is 100% what I would suggest and have made the same suggestion in another thread.

Also this if $ allows.
