Switch to horizontal dual x linear rails? (5 replies)

Okay so my corexy stage looks like this, it began as a smartrapcore alu:

Recently switched from 8mm rods (vertically stacked on x) to linear rails.

It prints well (running on re-arm now) but I'm thinking about trying dual horizontal x-rails to have no cantilevering of the hotend/extruder. I will end up losing a bit of y build space.

How much of an improvement might I expect? Anyone made the same change care to comment on what effect they saw doing this?

I just can't quite decide if the improvement will be too marginal to be worthwhile or not. Its only one rail and some redesigned y-carriages, and an x carriage.
