I own a Reach3D printer. It's an all aluminum housing and z axis gear printer. I'm still in the construction phase, but if me and my caliper (it's auto-calibrating but I want it perfect :) work well together then I should be printing sometime around the 21st. I could help you with my printer at limited expense (unless something big happens in my life :)
one piece of advice: buy some printbite, stick it to the aluminium plate (after cleaning it - do follow PRECISELY the instructions for printbite installation). better, get a MK3 (aluminium) bed plate, because having a MK2 not in full contact with the aluminium is a pain (uneven heat distribution and transfer). i've currently stacked some cardboard underneath to make the MK2 stop bowing downwards... *sigh*...
printbite will stop a world of pain in both making prints stick and also getting them off. but *read and follow the instructions*.

Actually, I was thinking of using a lokibuild sheet (another kickstatr? thing (seems I have lost the link...)): here is one of the right size? https://shop3duniverse.com/collections/accessories/products/3d-universe-lokb...
