One example is to be able to remove one of the Z motors on Cartesian style machines by using a pair of worms on the end of a cross shaft underneath or on top of the machine connected to the Z screws, driven by one motor. Just a teaser to get your mind thinking about the possibilities.

You made easy X carriage and get more speed on X.
But Y axis with heat bed remains heavy and poor quality on Y.

The solution would be:
- ultralight heatbed without any height-settings available to keep materials used to a minimum
- autoleveling on hotend
Or....... put the Z-axis on the heatbed and make an Ultimaker kind of setup. I think the Ultimaker setup would be ideal for this Flex3Drive.

And where does one purchase this magical device?
Edit: mutley3d.com opens blank
Also, is it possible, within reasonable added cost, to get a longer one? Say 1100mm shaft?

What's the response like? What's the delay between motor movement and end movement? Flexing compared to bowden?

I've got 1:1 direct drive and never had even a warm motor [I've got a heatsink and fan, though]. Retracts around 80-100mm/s at 3.2mm distance. But you answered my question. I'm definitely a future buyer.Quote

we do often hear of the motors and stepper drivers getting very hot, print freezes due to overheating electronics and so on.

Nice and interesting design. What's the second moment of area for the drive shaft?

Here's another question: What's the horizontal distance that can be reache? It's a 900mm shaft, but with how things move and collide I can't imagine you'd get a movement range of any more than 5-600mm. Of course, I have no idea how in/flexible it is.
