Working with 6 axis industrial robots with astonishing repeatability precision, this still wouldn't be enough for a 3D printer

I'm doubting the practical feasibility as well

Yeah. And those industrial bots you work with are all metal, with high torque motors most likely.

Meanwhile this thing is going to be using the cheapest servos that can just barely meet the torque requirements, all in a plastic housing arm.

Gonna stick with my ender 3.

It’s really weird to take as pessimistic a view as possible on something that doesn’t even exist, and conclude that it’s terrible.
