Smaller, Simpler, Cuter!

Rough Part Count:
28 608 bearings
12 plastic pieces
13 M8 bolts
14 M3 bolts
It wasn't required but I placed all the hub connections on one plane. I got rid of a ton of parts. The huge bearings in the middle and the hard to get to hot end mount are gone. The hot end is 25mm off center but I can adjust for that in software. I can also mount additional hot ends. The extension springs have been swapped for torsion springs. All members have a 25x25mm cross section. Everything is printable on a 150x150mm bed. The bed pictured is 200mm. In the video, the hot end is circling the bed and going from z=0 to z=75mm. 75mm is about the highest you want to go on the edge of the circle. The max height in the center of the print volume is 175mm.
I will be filling in some of the blanks but I feel pretty good about this design. Let's find some holes in my design so I can fix them before I start printing it. :-)
