The Quad design intends to address three areas of concern with one change to the delta configuration. Instead of three columns, Quad uses four allowing effector tiling, which one day might be useful for milling but should certainly address the problem of hotend tip alignement and dragging that's worse when, say *four* hotends are in one effector; allowing a square, not round hotbed, which admits of laminated Peltier chip design, consequently if the range is high enough into the cold bed regiment, through differential thermal expansion, allowing part auto release without scraping; Quad incoprates a new spider rod joint design also intended to have no backlash and possible through some optimization of dimensioning and clearanances allowing milling.
