A thought that occurred to me while I was building my printer was that if the pivot-points for the arms (was magnets, now balls) were located higher up on those carriages, it'd be possible to get some more height for a given frame size. I toyed with the idea of flipping the carriages upside down, but of course the hinge wasn't designed that way.
So my question: is there a reason, other than aesthetic, that the magnets are placed at the bottom of the carriages?
