@@jonwoodworker I’ve considered that, but I think they’ll do just fine. Haven’t noticed anything concerning at all in over a week. Certainly not skipping steps. Doesn’t seem to be any odd power issues either… Don’t count chickens is a wise saying though! I’ve been wrong a time or 1,000 before 😆 I appreciate the comment. I’ll keep an eye out. 💪
@@LightOfReason7 Well that’s hard to say. Substantial space savings for sure and generally decluttering which is a massive advantage, especially at scale. Beyond that however I don’t see any distinct advantages to printing sideways as far as performance. I will point out thought that I haven’t noticed any performance disadvantages. Now as far as automated printing, major advantages. Part release is now chefs kiss.
@RealSnail3D Yes, I would think getting the parts off would be easier. On the negative, I would think you would get undesirable vertical vibrations. In the regular position gravity is your friend Having said that I've seen some printers print upside
@@LightOfReason7 I had one fall off a shelf and I was printing a notorious hard part and it just kept going. Part didn't fall off and there was no layer shift or anything. It printed like that for a good half hour before I found it. th-cam.com/users/shortsMkyPGy_Eh9k?si=_ZETyiSCR_Y-6drw

I was gonna build an enclosure for my a1 mini but wow this takes the cake. Let’s goooooo

Watching those print sideways is a real mind-f**k. I like the idea of mounting the AMS... But I think the printer is better in regular orientation.

why does the intro song go so hard
Ikr! Thanks 🙏
@@RealSnail3D hey man! it looks like the mount files for the printer itself are missing on makerworld?
@@wacow45 Oh weird not sure how it wiggled itself out of the collection. Thanks for the heads up! makerworld.com/@Snail/collections/3636821
I will be interesting to see how long the stepper motors last. They weren't designed to fight gravity. Upside down might be better for the machine.

@WayneBronikowski WOW
@@LightOfReason7 I haven’t noticed anything in quality or any funny sounds like grating or dragging etc 🤷♂️ haha I am shocked as the next guy.
