Hi guys, I was studying a bit the coreXY/coreXZ with spectra line, and I was quite surprised to learn about another option to the common one, either the intersecting type or the 2-planes variation, the non-intersecting.
The two types of common CoreXY I know of are the ones below:
Intersecting:

Non-Intersecting

===========================
There is another non-intersecting type of CoreXY for which there are several in the wild, the most known of which I guess is RichRap's Sli3DR.

I am curious if this newcomer has any advantage/disadvantage over the non-intersecting type above, mainly concerning spectra line. From what I can see it seems that the length of line in the latter is greater than the length in the first, which would be no real issue with spectra but maybe more costly for timebelts. The other thing is stepper positioning, for the common type the steppers are placed at the corners of the gantry on a single side while for this new type the steppers have to be in the middle of the sides, on two different sides, which makes it more messy I guess.
Thank you.
