I have a ORD-bot hadron and I just about finished up building a expanded version with a build area of 12"x12"x12" I machined all the parts from 1/8" plate alum. The extruder is a copy of the QU-BD that I did all the machining on. Roy at Panucatt Devices is testing a 12"X12" Helios heatbed and will get one as soon as he has them ready.
After some thinking, I decided I needed to lighten the bed some so I took a 3/8" endmill and bored some holes. Now it is lighter than my stock Hadron bed is.
All I have left to do to get it printing wth PLA is the homing switches wired.
The ORD-Bot Hadron is a solid design and it expanded very easy.

Rodney,
That's a really nice build. I assume you have been sharing it with bdring and the rest of the folks on buildlog.net? I looked at your profile and didn't see any additional thread or posts on your build here on CNCZone. Have you been documenting it elsewhere?
I have 6 meters of makerslide I purchased with the intent to make a scaled version of the Hadron and/or bdring's laser cutter.
One question, I suspect you are going to use a heated base. If so are you going to raise it up from the table to isolated it? I would think the metal base would sink a lot of the heat you are trying to keep in the print.
