Corexy frame
Grabcad.com CAD file, easily copied and preferred frame to mod for Heated chamber.

Frames

 * Heated chamber uses Mazak covers on top. http://www.cnczone.com/forums/vertical-mill-lathe-project-log/51688-cnc-25.html references epoxy granite.
 * bcn3d frame,  Delrin nut Used with z-axis
 * 3d delta printing Solidworks file of Kossel printer. The square linear guide rails for z-axis functionality are expensive but prevent side shaft movement. An alternative are two 8mm chromed rods, side by side and SC8UU SCV8UU Linear Motion Bearing Slide Bushings mounted on square aluminium plate.
 * Lulzbot Solid works files.

Design: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:468612  with 29meg of Solid works files.  File name DIY_all_aluminum_3D_Printer.zip
 * Uses SC10UU linear bearing blocks, ebay and EZstruder. Velleman printer prints(PLA) symmetrical ACME threaded rods. If a printer can't print a complete profile, cut in half with 3d slicer and glue together again. Insert rod and continually rotate to remove glue from threads. Use Plaster of paris and aluminium foundry to cast rod.

Lost PLA casting

 * http://3dtopo.com/lostPLA/
 * See Metal casting.
 * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWVVSZP3Au4 print at 103% for alum contraction when cooling. Play sand:plaster ratio 1:1, pure plaster will not withstand the heat from aluminium. Let aluminium cool a bit before pouring.
 * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMluq9IxuhA. Quencing a cast https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FjijGyVOLpg prevents the hot alum from aerolizing the plaster.

extruders, hotends and heated chamber
http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:711401 The B'Struder is an entirely new Bowden extruder design. It fits all common stepper motors, and all popular pinch gears. Variants are available for several common tube connections. YOU PICK THE EXTRUDER HARDWARE! All you need is a few M3 screws/nuts, a suitable ~3/8" or ~10mm spring, and three 623 bearings.Unlike most extruder designs, the B'Struder filament path runs entirely through the spring idler arm. This accomplishes two unique things:1) Makes the filament path alignment very tolerant of different pinch gear diameters 2) Makes tension on the Bowden tube (due to filament pushing force) mildly assist pinch gear grip This requires very specific geometry for the hinge, idler bearing, output fitting, and pinch gear contact point. This is a new design, and feedback is welcome. But it's working great in my Delta so far. I'm running very aggressive retraction settings without any issues. Let me know how it works for you!

 * http://wiki.stoutwind.de/doku.php?id=stoutwinds-rampage-universal-single-extruder, http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:537291  A multipurpose Extruder for 3.00mm filaments. You can use it as bowden or direct extruder. It's compatible with over 40 hotends. There are several tools and adapters included. Has Optimized geometry and variants for square nut and hexagon nut fastening. You get a really precise description for our extruder here: http://wiki.stoutwind.de/doku.php?id=stoutwinds-rampage-universal-single-extruder. The extruder development and creation of the description/build information took several weeks and more than 300 hours (including research, development, sorting, photo shooting, rendering, texting, validating, ...) . It's build from ground up, inspired by Greg's wade reloaded extruder and many other.
