    Oh ya. So do you guys remember a few years back when printers were all loud and people loaded gcode to make them kick out the Imperial March? If I wasn't running the silent tmc2208 drivers I Swear I would do that as soon as this was back together. This machine is gonna be radical..

    When I am done there will be 10 stepper motors driving this printer. And each motor will have it's own stepper driver so I will have 7 tmc2208 drivers and there are 3 drivers built into the MMU2S control board.

    so why have you gone for the central bed support over the side supports ?

    I mean it is a pretty substantial central support. But surely the side supports make a more stable bed ?

    I am converting to all linear rails and guides for X, Y, and Z. I am also upgrading the front stepper motor on the Y axis to a full size stepper and have designed a new mount for it. Here is my current progress..

    While this printer is down I am printing out all the parts I need with my failed 3 Color Mixing Printer, Printalicious. And these y end caps/ motor mounts are printed in petg and as the picture shows I have already revised this part from my original design..And before I even got the new part with more material installed I realized I need to make some sort of stop for the linear guides so they do not travel off the end of the rails. Back to the drawing board.

    3rd time's a charm. Got my motor mounts for Y designed and printed. I am happy with the results..

    Still a ways to go. And I am waiting on a set of 550mm linear rails for Y to arrive in the mail..
