If I go about rebuilding the printer, it’s on the idea plate. Though, really, if I do it, it would probably be after the printer I have is working good enough to print the parts for the printer I want. That gets back to where the idea came from. So I was thinking that it’d be wicked if I printed parts. But prints take awhile. It’s be trick if I could print multiple things at once. Well why not? I mean if you have a strong enough gantry, then why not put multiple print heads on it. We’re talking multiple print heads to print multiple of the same part at once. In general it’s not like anyone is usually doing a full on “hey is this print I’m printng, printing right?” process. So what if we just have an attachment bar where we can attach multiple print heads. You place a part on the slicer, and then just make sure you have the gap right. Boom two prints for the time of one. Limits only on how many parts you can safely place of the build plate. I’ll have to think about how is want to do the z-axis. Overall, I’m pretty sure this is a bad idea. Sometimes, a bad idea is a good idea waiting to happen.
