Hiyas, I'm looking for instructions or designs so I can build myself a small flatbed printer. I've seen people put on displays their own creations on youtube and stuff, but never really provided step by step instructions or they simply lack any details. It would be great if I can just use an Epson inkjet and latch it to a table instead of rollers.

Buying a flatbed printer is out of the question for the most part. I just need something that can print on letter sized media, and all the reputable retailers sell wide format printers for a huge premium price. Also unless somebody has any first-hand dealings with those "Made in China" dealers, I just can't trust them with $3k+ and hope for it to arrive 2 weeks and any tech support if at all.
