       @mia I’ve used 10x20 profiles i found at Dold Mechatronik for my pen plotter before. You could also look for more exotic bent steel sheet profiles, though I have much less experience with those. I’m sure you can find some super light stuff from misumi or other brands at McMaster-Carr.

       @mia i saw those on AliExpress. I was debating buying one for my Voron 0, because the last time I saw such an intricate gantry beam E3D charged an arm and a leg for it and this one was like less than fifty bucks, right?  They somehow still look heavy to my eyes, but then I’ve only ever chosen profiles by feel (nach Bauchgefühl, like most architects 😅).Your setup looks incredible btw!

       @mia I’ve found one that looks about right to my eyes. Also it seems to be made of steel so perhaps that lessens the heat expansion differential. Plus it’s super cheap!

       @mia yo! I’ve found these carbon fiber extrusion, don’t know if you’ve seen this. Also, the same distributor sells steel profiles that you can screw to the underside of the X beam to solve that thermal expansion problem you were talking about. Have you heard whether people like the carbon fiber beams before? Sadly I don’t know enough about that stuff to speculate

       @mia aah ok yes that makes sense. Man, following you for a week has leveled up my printer enormously! Thanks a ton 🙏I’ve ordered the lightweight extrusion for my Voron Zero (based on your endorsement) and I’ve also been going through that tuning document they link on the voron documentation and found out that my printer can actually handle twice as much speed and acceleration than I was previously using!

       @mia oh yeah you’re right. I was only looking at those Andrew Ellis tuning pages. But now that I’ve looked at it I can tell that the documentation is full of excellent stuff. So that’s where they keep all the community knowledge! I was dreading having to wade through discord or god forbid Facebook groups or Reddit. lol I’ve been roughing it out the whole time, just banging my head against issues till it clicks. Reading the documentation is way better 😅

       @simon I saved this graphic about a week ago but have no idea if it is older or obsolete. It lists three other AI networks in Text-to-3D
