I just can’t see how you would 't be better off buying four printers for that. With the four headed config you have effective volumes of 200 x 800 x 1000 which just seems odd. (to me)
No argument about that.
As it happens, I like fluff balls. Our late grand-dog was pretty much nothing more than a toilet brush that chased birds, but we loved him to bits! 
There has to be a way to print four-color models with independent X control of each head. (IQEX?) But maybe they haven’t got the software figured out so they are not advertising it yet.
I would think so, but it wouldn’t be elegant, AND the build plate would be reduced by 3x width of head. I just think it’s a good idea not thought through. There’s no doubt that the large volume will have lots of uses though.
Just stumbled upon this YT channel
It’s focused around a specific manufacturer (Trotec), but there are lots of so called “laser hack” videos than apply to any brand. Great resource for ideas about inlays, tainting wood, making supports using kinetic sand, melting powder coat paint with the laser… the list goes on 
That’s hilarious! I had a link copied ready to post - I thought the powder coating fill had all sorts of possibilities - and there’s a pile of other interesting stuff there too!
“Les grands esprits se rencontrent” as we usually say 
Exactement!!
The reverse inlay technique shown in the Trotec video is pretty much the same as the “easy inlay” method I described in my thread. The difference is he’s using veneer and transfer tape and I’ve used solid wood, similar to Broinwood, and I use LightBurn to process the image.
While the Aztec calendar has to be 10" or more in diameter to keep the detail, I’m “resigned” to smaller stuff, like my grand-daughter’s caricature of some old man…
This image is about 70mm tall and fits the pieces of walnut and maple I have on hand…

I’m not sure if it’s just my naivety but the thought of being able to draw complete wire looms and therefore to be able to cut and crimp specific lengths of cable really appeals to me.
The thought of spending more time drawing that actually doing does not admittedly - but it would work if you had a semi-production kind of setup I think.
Crazy guitar design, cnc’ed out of carbon fiber, richlite and a bamboo charcuterie board, using hollow carbon tubes as a neck…
Love the creativity of this guy, very inspiring, using uncommon materials and techniques to achieve a unique result
The richlite material seems like a great material for CNC project too
OMG, I am Love. Oh, boy, I really wish I had that sort of style.
22Idex v2 has bunch of interesting features…
Non planer will be fewer supports needed and a much wider variety of shapes…the MP3DP is ready…come on slicers!
Anyone see this machine? - Matilda
He made a (2?) MPCNC on his channel too. This one is his latest.
Yes, but the cost of “Matilda” will never even come close to what we make here.
Wasn’t trying to compare it to a LR3 or similar. I just thought it was ‘Neat!’ 
Yes, but you brought it to our home… Of course it’s going to be compared to the V1 designs. I would be more surprised if it wasn’t. Also note that the ONLY metric that was compared to the V1 designs appeared to be cost. I’d still have to watch the video and/or fully evaluate the Matilda design to determine how the rest of the specs stack up.
Don’t be surprised by the raised eyebrows when you try to show off a mint Miata at a Corvette club… 
Ohhhh, what do we have here? The only slop in that system could be between the pin and the hole…but the gearbox could introduce a lot of slop. If those are both hard materials, that could be a very, very nice drive system. I wonder what the minimum bend radius of the metal tape is.
Take away the gear box and run it direct drive and that would be very nice for a high speed system like a laser. No stretch so fast accels could be super fast.
