This is great feedback. My plan for "printing near the center" is to use a single toolhead to print the base, and then move to dual head extrusion for the sidewalls, hoping proper alignment of the model can keep any of the walls from crossing (or nearing) the center of the print bed to prevent crashing of toolheads. Design does hinge on how much radial variation there may be at 180 degree printby ChayDuuLetDuu - General
Appreciate the feedback! Definitely understand the software will be a significant part of the battle, but willing to take the plunge on that end if the mechanics make sense. From my initial figuring, in 'dual vase mode' could be accomplished just by generating two vase toolpaths 180 degrees apart (+ a small radial offset for inner/outer perimeter). HOWEVER, when you start trying to balance prby ChayDuuLetDuu - General
I am interested in developing/building a printer specifically for printing sockets for prosthetic limbs in a robust and timely manner. Current "state-of-the-art" printers use a single large nozzle in vase mode to print rapidly, but this creates limitations on print thickness and other challenges associated with excessively large nozzles. I am pondering using two independent print heads on a rotby ChayDuuLetDuu - General
Looking to build a niche machine for printing orthopedic devices (mostly prosthetic sockets) and looking into motion systems. What do you all think about the new Craftbot 3 gantry system? It is almost like a Cartesian & H-bot hybrid, so shorter belts, no stacked or crossed belts, and a mechanically (albeit not so much w/ firmware) simple IDEX implementation w/ no moving motors (other thanby ChayDuuLetDuu - CoreXY Machines
