I'm designing a cover for my 3D printer. Unlike traditional 3D printers, mine can print in full color, so I wanted to use ancient Greek sculpture combined with realistic colors to express this transformation.
I also drew inspiration from some Apple designs.
The image is AI-generated; I just wanted to visually convey my ideas. I'm not a professional designer, and I'd appreciate more insightful suggestions.

I’ve built a custom PolyJet-style machine myself, and I’m currently struggling with bed leveling stability. Right now I’m using a spring-based leveling system similar to what’s commonly used in FDM printers, but I’m seeing fluctuations during operation—likely due to vibration or compliance in the springs.
My question is:
Do commercial PolyJet machines (e.g., from Stratasys) use any kind of compliant (spring-based) bed leveling system at all, or are they fully rigid—like precision-ground stages or fixed kinematic mounts?
