    Does everyone leave the bottom of their printer on? I was thinking of adding legs and just putting a huge fan underneath it to have some additional air flow. (Added chimera and upgraded all the motors) so didn't know if I would need the extra cooling

    I have a beta with no bottom. If you remove it you need to make sure the RAMPS fan stays in-place somehow.

    The bottom mostly is there to hide their wiring and make the product look more complete. Does a good job at that IMO.

    Secondary purpose is to hold the ramps fan. Does an OK job of that.


    Those feet are a good choice
