Wonder if it will be possible to print some 90 degree overhangs with this... 70 degrees is already possible with a normal bed, 20 degree tilt on that bed looks possible?

[doxielain]

Oh, we're going to need a new slicer paradigm, and I welcome that.

[mophie]

Wow the bed anodized black look so good oh my god

[sebastians]

This 3 point method looks pretty nice! It will ensure that the theoretical plane of the bed will be leveled. But what about possible deviations for example of the printer Surface itself? Is it possible to do a mesh bed leveling?

[anikethdas]

Is it possible to use this type of movement to aid in non planar printing?

[marijntuijl]

How do you get the axis to Mose separate like that? I've got a similar kind of bed coupling but I really want a macro to make the bed dance like that.

[Psychsoulman]

So, hows about some advanced slicing with non-planar action? Coming soon?

[MAmerica]

It would be cool to have a plugin go dance the bed with your finished part on it to make a video for the records.

[tobiaswanke]

Please let us know what it takes to make the bed move like that. Is there a custom G-Code that I could use to replicate the movement? Thank you for this nice demo video.

Where can I find the Gcode for this? Just finished building my Ratrig and I would like to try this out. Thank you.

[nikkycea]

please show me comands to make my ratrig bed dance like that

[chrisnurse]

Can we v2 owners print these parts and how is the bed coupling formed? Is it a captive ball bearing

[hendrixlp]

Ok ok that's impressive.... but can it print a benchy and calibration cube is the real question.

[zola]

it can sleep while printing, cuz the vibration, why rat rig use this concept for bed legs?🤔

[mrdriver]

With a different slicer this could be real 3D printer instead of 2.5D

[pfa]

What's the purpose of this? I mean - it looks cool and all, but unless it allows tilting the print to print overhangs (which it doesn't because there are no software support), it looks like a needless complication.
