Vertical vs Horizontal X rods arrangement? What distance between rods? (7 replies)

Hi, is there one solution better than the other? I have entered the CoreXY arena with vertically stacked X axis in mind - rods just as Prusas and then Smartrapcore have them. But over time I kept questioning it. Horizontally spaced rods don't actually eat up more space than the vertically stacked rods, as I originally believed. And the design of the carriage can be quite simpler for the horizontal variation. Also the X carriage seems to be easier to design, print and even rep-strap.

I really need your opinions on this and maybe an explanation on why one is superior to the other. And what is a minimum recommended distance between rods (I know wider gap is better for stability ... maybe a variable distance design?).

Thanks.
