You haven't seen my video? The line is fixed....Quote
You can additinally fix the line in the middle of the spoolers, so there is no spinning.

For big printers you will need thicker wires, e.g. the Sli3dr creator will switch to wire for a tension of 60 kg. In my calculation this means FireLine above 0,5 mm diameter. I plan to use wire for a small printer (MGN07 linear guides and Bowden) and will try FireLine 0,1 mm, where angles and tensions should not be a problem if the stepper pulley is large enough.

This may seem like a stupid idea, but what if we "synchronize" the travel of the string on the spool with the travel of the carriage. So as the carriage moves towards the spool, the string is wound so that it moves closer to the notch (ridge?) at the center of the spool.

What sort of drive system did you use VDX? A pulley with the line anchored to it or just relying on friction to run it like a belt?

The string can leave the pulley at an angle, I'd love to draw a picture but I'm working the majority of the weekend, I'll see if I can draw it next week.Quote

With a fixed connection between carrier and string, the string would then always have to be in the center of the pulley? I don't see clearly, what you mean.

20mm is too small for most steel wires.

Also, doesn't spectra have lower stretch than steel per unit area? Maybe it was mass/density, can't remember.
