Printed a 30x30mm Frame 3D Printer. For Proof of concept ("Can a 3D Printer Duplicate itself").
6 X 11-3/4 inch print bed with 10-1/2 inch height. Using all thread for frame support, I have determined that although you can 3D print a Printer.

without metal support you may never get a consistent print quality. As PLA and ABS are not sturdy enough material to support 3D printing a 3D Printers by themselves.
Even some other material frame printer's push the limits of consistent print quality (will not mention them by name but we all know what they are)..
Although the x and y axis works quite well, the Z axis was quite flexible (wobbly) and needed more support to continue.
The 3D Printer worked though at a dramatically reduced speed.
