Hi! I was looking at the Mosaic printer where the bed raises and lowers on the z-axis as well as its lateral motion. While the print heead is stastionary in the Z-axis and just travels back and forth. While the Print head on say thae Prusa rises on the Z and moves laterally. Are there any thoughts as to which method has better accuracy? Which has more mass, the head assembly, or the bed? At first I liked trhe Mosaic with the head firmly planted on the top. But since the Bed raises from one side, I'd think there would be moreplay along both the x and y axis.
