Help develop the next MP3DP!?!

Personally assumed CoreXY, but have the cool kids/startups/corps come up with something newer/better?

Is three Z steppers a given? Expecting many people to build 300+, if so, although 3’s enough for smaller builds, would 4 steppers improve/simplify the frame design/assembly/accuracy/stability? Asking since we saw 4 on recent large Vorons. And saw folks with large builds struggle to get Z tilt level within desired tolerance.

Nice. Personally appreciate v.next explicitly designing for drop protection through hardware and/or software changes. Already on my todo list for my current build, priority got bumped up after observing Jonathan’s boards.

Figured the 84oz steppers are so beefy we don’t need to accurately tune the constant tension springs? (EDIT: Hmm, this isn’t relevant to drop protection) Boards should be able to handle slow drop.

V1E Brake/protection board that supports 3-4 drivers anyone… Useful for overly man/person handled CNC’s too.
