Thought this was interesting and worth sharing

Yes I know its been done before on small scale, as a MB add on for eg

What I also found amusing is the orange parts coming of the printer are clearly Original Prusa I3 mk2s parts!

Sadly no videos of it printing that I can find quickly...

It's a really interesting solution to overhangs, that's for sure. Interested to see what they use as a slicer, and if current firmware/ slicers will start to support it. if so I might have to build a reprap to a similar design....

I'm finding it hard to get my head around print orientation for strength in which axis?
Wonder how much the belt will be to replace? more than some other 3D Printers, how they going to print ABS an expensive box for it?.
Apart from that I already have a Z/X config that I could easily tilt 45 degrees.
