I dug around a bit here but likely missed it as I’m sure this has been asked and answered. If I use all the same tubes from my drop table 525(?) build of mine will I lose any work area switching to the Primo? Looking at the photos of Ryan’s red and black primo it looks like the ends of the tubes might stick out farther past the feet than my current machine.
Yes, you will lose some work space - in exchange for rigidity. Not sure about the numbers, I wonder if Ryan @vicious1 said 5-7mm?
@turbinbjorn it is more than that.
The easy way to figure it out is to use the calculator.

Plug in your numbers and look for the table size and work area and change it to match your actual build.

Thanks everyone. The upside is that I can use the old tubes and just cut them down for the dedicated small machine.
