I'm also searching on how to make the USB-C power. The main problem is that, from what I saw, USB-C PD (Power Delivery) can only go up to _100 watts_, which look pretty low for a printer. Maybe my printer will have a dual power system (either normal power, which more voltage, and USB-C when less power is required) ?

Instead of one end of a 2020 extrusion going into the side of another 2020 extrusion, they both now connect to a 20x20mm block, so the overall footprint of the bottom frame is now 490x490mm instead of the previous 490x450mm.

Firstly, I just want to give an update on why there was a two week break. I was on vacation and could not work on the project. Secondly, I plan on adding the PicoMMU integration (really just a filament cutter and mount for the 4-1 bowden hub) once I have the printer up and running. I still have to add back all the fasteners.

# Interesting note on design!
As you will notice, most of the frame is built out of linear rods. I was inspired by hex shafts in FRC and how we tap them and use a bolt to clamp both sides. I decided to do this for infill to maximize rigidity and minimize construction/deconstruction time.

I realised my orginal thought process wasn't actually possible, but I made design #1, where the tall thingys move back and forth. I haven't seen this on a printer before, it's either the build plate moving (not really possible with the constraints) or the extruder moving two ways (again, not entirely possible, but a fold out thing could be possible but very difficult). I think I will stick with this design for now.
