YAT-Zero - Yet Another Tri-Zero variant

With all the excellent triple-belted z-gantry 3D Printers for Ants available, I couldn't decide which one I wanted to use on my V0 because each had features I wanted, but none had all, so I set out to model yet another tri-zero build. thus the name YAT-Zero (YAT0).

Design Goals:

• Belted triple Z-axis - MET
• Three (3) Z Linear Rails - MET
• Additional X & Y travel for optional probes and nozzle cleaners - MET (142mm X, 123mm Y, 120mm Z)
• Room for electronics both in the rear and under the printer - MET
• Choice of Nema 17 or Nema 14 pancake motor for Z drives - MET
• Full travel while constraining the toolhead within the boundaries of the frame - MET
• Integrated nozzle wiper/cleaner without requiring a servo - IN PROGRESS
• Integrated purge chute - IN PROGRESS
• Boxed or unboxed configurations - MET
• Use as many parts from a stock V0.x - MET

This build contains parts from many different printers and some custom or remixed parts. Please see the long list of parts that were either 1:1, repurposed, or remixed. Thank you to all who created the originals.

NOTE: This is a work in progress and still needs some work.** Contributors and testers welcomed. Do you know CAD and want to contribute? Contact me on the Doomcube Discord YAT-Zero channel.
