It's possible, but I worry that the cantilever would cause too many issues.

How would one cantilever a core XY? I think I know how it could work

Hell yeah!!!

Buy up all of Tesla's stock and vote him out?.
Just need a small loan of a few billion dollars 😅

To be clear, I'm talking about responses I get on other platforms, haven't gotten snarky remarks on here :)

👋 totally not using the Bear frame for a new project/design 😉

For context, this was the wall before lol, this room used to be the Gym

We've been planning this new machine for over a year now. But now we have to change its design parameters specifically because we are becoming victims of a trade war.

I will not let Positron die. It gave my life purpose and passion.

I will not let it be taken away.

But with these tariffs, the momentum that I spent the past four to five years of my life building, almost has essentially been kneecapped.

I am fuming for my community.

And I am going to put all of this rage into a creative endeavor to make an even better machine.

And without subsidies, there is no way that a small production run machine like Positron can be made reasonably here in United States.

We were nominated for Best FDM desktop printer in 2024, and this was only possible due to our collaboration with LDO.

The kit was already on the expensive side, and was already a hard pill to swallow.

But for those that were enthusiasts of the idea, it was still within reason.

I cannot in good conscious at this point recommend that anyone spend over $1,000 on a Positron.

Agreed.

The only time I use Multi-Color or Multi-Material;

1. Printed Labels (because I don't have a label maker)
2. Don't want to paint the model after
3. Actually want to embedded TPU into a model
4. Other multi material stuff

Then again, I have a 5 Toolhead XL, so waste isn't a thing for me.

Thanks @themitch22.bsky.social I had a blast with you and @nomadsgalaxy.com

I only got a few pics inside, nothing worthy of posting.

Chinese 3D printers are dominating the market because the Chinese government is heavily subsidizing 3D printers, That's how machines like the Centauri Carbon can exist for $200.

The current strategy is just asinine.

Positron is made with LDO out of Shenzhen because they are the only ones capable of producing the printers. If we did that here the United States, the cost of the kit would be triple if not quadruple.

Because there is no subsidies to bring 3D printing manufacturing here to the States.
