    This isn’t new, is it? I remember treadmill printers being around for years already

      No this isn’t a new concept, the size and use of treadmill is not something I’ve seen before though.

        To be honest, using an actual threadmill has no actual benefits other than generating an interesting headline

      Creality has had a treadmill printer for a long time now. You are correct, this isnt anything new.

        Just two of them would be an unsurmountable challenge.

    In case anyone here doesn’t follow it, Ivan’s YouTube channel is awesome, he has been working on a crazy marble clock: youtu.be/K3FMVmAte3g

    ProperPrinting is also great, he has some cool videos on custom extruders and printers he designed and a wild extruding resin printer with UV lasers.
