I’ve posted this to reddit before, but the post has gotten lost among an automod flurry. I’ve got some longer travel coming up and this thing has been on my mind again, so I’m looking for some suggestions!

      I feel like some kind of fold up option is just going to cause problems. I wonder if a delta would be better for that- haven’t played with one but maybe the up-and-down motion would be easier to self calibrate and compensate for any play.

        Since I got some step losses on my printer (fixed long ago), I keep wondering if our lives wouldn’t be much better with closed loop controlling of all the movements.

          The irony of precision calibration, if you loose calibration you loose calibration and you’re never getting it back.

          If you measure 3 times accurately enough, you’ll get 3 different answers.

          I’m just saying taking the UBL leveling a step further and actively compensate for out-of-squareness in the frame. This would allow some out of squareness as long as the frame was rigid. The alternative is squaring everything as you put it together.

      All the better to read you with, my dear.

      No wait, that’s backwards. Thanks for the feedback, I’ll play with the fonts next time I make a post.
