This. At least on my printer the single X and Y steppers seem pretty fast. I fail to see how additional steppers would make for much of an improvement.
“Standard” steppers are pretty strong, and the main issue is how you switch coils until it’s at top speed, and that will not be helped by adding more steppers.

Can’t remember the name, but there was a Finn in charge if Nokia who ended up running that into the ground through a series of bad decisions to the point where MS could buy Nokia for cheap. And he ended up in a leading position (might even be that he was CEO, I don’t remember) around the time when MS really accelerated their enshitification focus.

He was basically in charge of the Cambodian bombing campaign, calling out which targets were to be bombed without much of any intelligence indicating that it was a valid military target.
Also, he was closely tied to the Johnson administration and suddenly he was offered a position in the Nixon administration. While not proven there are a lot of suspicious indicators that he may have intentionally botched the peace negotiations in Vietnam in an effort to give Johnson poor standing before the election so that Nixon could be the one ending the war. In other words; If true he intentionally pr longed the war in return for a position in the Nixon cabinet.

They can, yes. It is worth noting that some recipients were convicted for various “crimes” in their home countries, such as the Chinese human rights activist who won it in 2010.

- Comment on How realistic is it for me to learn Japanese so that I can experience Anime better? How long would it take to learn? Has anyone attempted this? 2 weeks ago:
I tried this during my weeb phase some 20 years ago.
I stumbled across a video lecture series om some torrent site, and despite being very old (fr m the 70s or 80s) it was actually pretty good for teaching everyday japanese.
I never progressed beyond the very basics due to life happening, but it got me far enough that I could at least grasp the general topic at hand. I’m sure I would’ve gotten a decent understanding of the language if I had kept at it.
Japanese is a fairly simple language with easy grammar. From what little Mandarin I’ve learned, I’d say the two are far enough apart that knowing one probably won’t help you much with the other.

I skimmed the article and I didn’t notice anything blatantly bad in the approach. So they have my approval.

Start by approximates. Move the print head/bed so they’re only a few millimeters apart. Then find out where the bed is highest. Move to a different corner and tighten the screw there until it’s roughly the same height. Once all corners look the same, you might want to check the center just to make sure it’s not drooping. Afterwards, repeat the process with more accuracy.

Based on the picture and your explanation it sounds like this might be the issue, or at least one of them.
So, if I understand that design correctly, you tighten the screws going into those washer looking things, and the sprint pushes the bed up, causing it to stay in place?
If so, here’s what I’d do:
- Use a glass pane or something. They’re cheap, heat beds and print sheets are not.
- Bring the head all the way down.
- Unplug power so you can move the print head by hand.
- Find the highest point on the bed.
- Adjust the opposite corners further up (presumably by tightening the screws) until the print head is at the same distance no matter where you move it.
- Comment on How do I make this work? Or should I give up? 3 weeks ago:
The XY axises (axii?) need to be parallell to the heatbed, meaning that no matter where the print head moves, it’s always the same distance away from the bed.
A printed doesn’t have to be perfectly level relative to the earth, but it does have to be level relative to the print head.

I don’t think I have the necessary experience required to properly diagnose your issue(s), but I troubleshoot hardware and void warranties for a living, so hopefully my general advice can be useful:
The obvious part is to start troubleshooting from one end. And when “nothing” works, the correct end to start from is the end with least variables, so we’re talking very basics here. And from that you can tackle each problem as you properly confirm them.
So the first thing I’d do is to check that your temp settings are good for your filament. And can you verify that the temp shown is in fact the actual temp? Could be a busted thermistor. All checks out? Well, your hot end is probably find.
Next up, are you able to confirm that the extruded amount of plastic matches what should be extruded? I had a recent issue of over, trudging myself, and if this isn’t dialed in correctly it can get really messy, especially with PETG.
Any chance the nozzle is damaged? If it’s out of shape in the literal sense, it will be unable to lay down plastic in a precise manner.
And then there’s the part I always hated: Heatbed leveling. First, your heatbed needs to be level relative to your X and Y. The tiniest inaccuracy will make the whole project a nightmare. Precision calipers are your friend here.
Now, heatbed temperature, check the same stuff as you did with the nozzle. Correct temp set for the material? And is this the actual temp?
Now it’s time to ensure the Z offset of your nozzle is correct. Too high and it’ll just string instead of what it’s supposed to do. Too low and you end up with what I call nozzlesnot which can cause symptoms similar to a damaged nozzle, which might also have stringing as an end result.
If you made it this far, your printer is probably mechanically fine, so it might be environmental factors such as ambient temperatures. Also, I remember back in the day that some had issues with various filament manufacturers being really sloppy when making filament, resulting in varying diameter.
I don’t do PLA myself, so I won’t comment on print surface or your temperature choices.
Anyway, I hope this helps. Either way, I hope you get to the bottom of it.
