For some reason I can’t get it to move reliably so it only moves half of the time, but when it does move it looks great

I must little cut off one leg, but it still epic :d

@GaborDomos What's that fun thing attached to the Y-motor?

Completely mesmerizing! I had to fiddle with it to get things moving, but they have not stopped since then, and it's been going for months.

@coilbuilder_88933 what did you do to get it to move? I am trying to get it to work for my Mini too, but can’t quite get it right.

Nice and easy!

Very cool I wish I had a prusa printer to put it on.

It's very hypnotic, I can't stop watching it while printing

Looks nice.

Works and looks great, had to cut a bit off one of the corners to get it to fit snugly with my part cooling setup.
