    CoreXY FTW! I didn’t know anything about 3D printers but offloading motors seemed such a good idea, also allowing my stupidly overweight feeding NEMA (it’s like 1/3 of a kilo lol I thought pushing the plastic needed waaay more power than it does) to just sit there! Learned a lot using a crappy extruder (heat creep aaaar) when it snapped I got the E3D V6 (IIRC) Titan was more complicated or more expensive :-) and the heat possibilities made even the cheapest rolls print well with some fans.

    I’m using the Marlin board with the Atmel/AVR well euh the standard stuff & and just a usb cable from my PC which is (plus not enough time / laziness) what is now what’s stopping me from using it. Sure, could try to install all on a laptop and walk there etc etc but well… I’d love to make it independent.

    Yeah quality wise, it bridged and made flexible prints, for some <=1.000€. Add a thousand hours work for free though :-D
