The 3D printer with no belts: The Peopoly Magneto X uses closed-loop linear motors!
JLC3DP online 3D printing starts at $0.3, CNC machining starts at $8, up to $60 coupons here: https://jlc3dp.com/?from=MadewithLayers
The Peopoly Magneto X foregoes stepper motors, pulleys and belt and goes straight to closed-loop linear motors embedded into the X and Y linear axes - that's top-tier technology. But did they actually manage to build a worthwhile 3D printer around the tech?
