large 3d printer

Question

Can you make a printer that has a 1 cubic foot printing area? I don't know if there are hot plate that large or what other challenges it will run into.

Also could it one up the 3-way Quick-fit Extruder and Colour Blending Nozzle with 5 filaments instead of just 3.

8" x 8" (or 200mm squared) is a very common size already, with many existing parts to choose from. Very rarely would you need to print something a cubic foot (and also it would take forever)
