Belt printers are the work of the devil! XYZ don't know where it's going!

Interesting.
My son uses his printer for school and prints multi-part things, I wonder if you can load multiple items and have them print in order? Like a head, arms, torso, legs for a figure rather than loading a new file and just printing multiples of one. I wonder how long it would take to print an AR lower? And how many a day?

Didn't watch the whole video. I did skip around and watch it printing.
First thing I notice is this is no longer printing layers perpendicular to the bottom of the model. This has some implications for existing models that have already been designed. And you would need support for this style of printing in your slicing software. Also, no enclosure or heated build platform. You're limited on what materials you can print in. |

GD level comment removed since this is a tech forum. -Rat_Patrol
Now that I got that out of my system, I thought this was a dumb idea until I watched the video OP posted. That print orientation looks really interesting for structural stuff, beats the normal horizontal layer lines. I don't think this would ever replace my normal vertical printing machine but I definitely want this as a second printer now. |

Seems like a printer of very limited utility, although I suppose if you need what it offers there is no alternative.
Even on a reliable printer, running a print that was long enough to need that much length would spook me. I guess infinite parts printing is nice too but people have been using starting gcode to have a printhead "sweep" a conventional bed for sequential printing for ages. |
