/diy/ - Do It Yourself

I was trying to figure out a better way to attach the motor to the x-axis extrusion and realized I could attach the idler pulleys to the motor itself. I only need brass standoffs with long enough threads, since the aluminum plates are 3.175mm.

Then I realized something which I thought was quite interesting: if I move the motor to within the Z-axis rods and use two more pulleys, I can actually mount a second motor to the other side with ease. I can then stack the belts and add a second x-carriage, just like the BCN3D Sigma. (belt path in purple).

Does Marlin support two x-carriages?
