Hi,
I was wondering, is it possible to make a core XY with a rectangular print area? I quite like the idea of building a printer with 2 standard heat beds side by side to give a 400x200mm area, but I don't remember ever having seen such a layout. Being able to print the occasional long thin object without going to the expense (and space!) of a 400 mm2 print area seems like a win to me.
