Kaleidoscope IDEX

Wanted to build an IDEX based off as much spare parts of my A8 as I could. (and other various spare parts)

Based this on the V-Cast, as it was a very rigid looking design, and I had some 3030 leftover. Built the Z-extrusions using 3090's as that's what I could get hold of. Used blind joints on the 3030's for extra rigid mounting (and it also looks cleaner)

It's printed in 7 colours of ABS and has 4 colours of aluminium anodizing, as this is a Kaleidoscope. (Kids got involved, so I embraced the indecision re colours)

The printer prints very well, with virtually no ringing even at 3k acceleration (without resonance compensation). Unfortunately the stock A8 motor isn't powerful enough to go reliably faster without skipping steps, when using a 12v power supply.
I'm sure you'd get better acceleration from those motors with a 24v system, but consider upgrading to high-current low inductance motors, as they tend to operate better at speed.
