Now i know that voron 2.4 is a design where money isn't supposed to be an issue and quality is not sacrificed,
But... It kinda is for me
I've been thinking of building one and i have almost everything i need except that i'm missing 2 motors.
Now i know that 4 motors is beneficial to things like auto bed leveling and some other stuff but i'm willing to deal with that.
Now what i'm trying to do is connect the two opposite facing pulleys for the z axis with a shaft, two on each side and have 2 motors for z instead of 4. Has anyone else done this yet? How would you imagine it would (or wouldn't) work? I'm intending to keep the bed fixed and level the bed by loosening one of the grub screws on each side that holds the hard shaft connecting the two pulleys, leveling the bed as best as i can and tightening them again. The left and right still can be controlled by the control board so i imagine that wouldn't be an issue. Also i have some high torque steppers so no issue there.
Any thought, comment or idea is greatly appreciated.
If this doesn't work i'm thinking of building a voron legacy or trident but i imagine the print quality/speed wouldn't be very close to voron 2.x
But i'm really keen on making this work. It'll be cool and special
