Great points you brought up! Only have experience with the Prusa's and it's been great. I never operated the a belt bed printer. It seems like another way to solve the problem is to stack hundreds of the steel sheets in a magazine behind an i3 styled machined. When the print is done, the Y axis goes all the way to front of the machine. It will basically hit the steel sheet in a ramp and unload the sheet, through the front of the machine. (In a clean under actuated robotic style). Move the bed to the other extreme to reload a fresh plate. This would involve a machine with more Y axis range of motion. If you're familiar with CNC machine tools, this would operate similar to a Brother Speedio Tool changer. Where the Z axis spindle motor actually indexes the tool changer, when Z axis is high enough to engage the tool changer. Regardless, I'm excited to see how both style machines solve the next stage of lights out automation. |
