Really cool, but this seems like it will be severely limited on printers that are not using a rotating bed and hinged only in one side. With that construction, speed and accuracy is definitely not going to be the best. Still, some amount of angling of the nozzle could provide some benefits to handling overhangs, even if its only 15-20 degrees.
15-20 degrees is a lot tho
A lot less than in this application too. But I think that could actually be achievable, at least from some angles, in most printers. Biggest issue implementing it on a coreXY or coreXZ, as opposed to this one, is that you need 2 extra DOF on the extruder to utilise it properly and not just one.
Well every dof is extra cost
OK, dammit, I already had enough projects to build...
This is fantastic! I have half assed plans of a similar design in FreeCAD lying around. I haven't come around building it yet. I'll surely take some inspiration here.
