Ah right.
On most ender style i3 printers the extruder is mounted level with the right hand upright strut.
Usually on the actual bracket the z-screw goes through.

That is the only printer on the planet, with it stuck on a little platform to the right of the upright and actually intruding into the build volume.

Hence my confusion.
And it's still a damn stupid place to put it lol

It's an i3 with dual z-screws - just make it a direct drive - like it should be - and have done with it.
