Initial point of view and considerations
- Vertical axis setup is considered, with the intent of bringing something extra, in terms of features, versatility etc. In this context having a dual axis for a second toolhead is a direction to explore. Mostly because its so easy to do, e.g. rods will be in a square config, 2 at each side of the Z drive. Having a separate axis could let us have a second toolhead without increasing the weight of the first. There are alot of considrents to it, e.g. there is no current electronics and firmware which could eventually deal with a secondary independent axis. How the second axis could be justified is a question mark, but i am sure it can be put at some use in the end.
- For a number of reasons, i am obsessed with rigidity and the 8mm rods are not inspiring me confidence for the job, so 12mm is the choice, smooth rods + linear bearings. With bigger components and second axis, i think a bigger frame would be in order, at least makes more sense in the context.
