You really have not smelled any thing bad until you smell one being drained in the desert heat of Iraq. Gag a dog off a gut wagon.Ya they are real sweet in the summer time.
It is interesting in the printer design that the top rails are partly cantilevered.
Quite a few actually, but I'll begin with just these two.Anyone have any questions about it?

1) Footprint, how much more countertop space does it take up compared to the MK3S?
2) When run open, is it quieter or louder then an MK3S?
Are any of your printers logical to bring to the launch site to either let people see and understand the process. Sure, I think most in rocketry right now are pretty familiar if they're intersted in that technology, but for people who don't, seeing one making random whatnots at an event could be interesting. I know my resin printer would be a bit awkward to set-up, level and use, but if any of your printers are easy to quickly set-up and wouldn't be negatively affected by the field environment, it might be an interesting thing to consider someday.Any more questions?
How will/does the XL enclosure work?Any more questions?
That has not been finalized yet. I suspect two optional additions will be: 1. An accordion enclosure on the outside or 2. A full enclosure that is a beheamoth.How will/does the XL enclosure work?

Regretfully, I'm missing Freedom Launch this year, but that would probably be a good way to expose some people.
Just a thought.
Did you say how many tool heads your XL has? One to start? Any MMU upgrades for the XL planned in the future, or just add more nozzles?
For input shaping my understanding is that the accelerometer based XL firmware is on a separate development path from the MK4 which does not have an accelerometer.Does the XL have the same firmware as the Mk4? Sans the frame, are the components the same?
I have heard rumors both ways. The Mk4 has an upgrade with an accelerometer if they ever bring it to market. I do not know much, but a source confirmed this.For input shaping my understanding is that the accelerometer based XL firmware is on a separate development path from the MK4 which does not have an accelerometer.
Yes. Apparently there is a school of thought that open loop input shaping MK4 works well enough that the accelerometer is not needed. I would like to see one come out anyway for the MK4 upgrades since those configurations will not be as well characterized for open loop input shaping.I have heard rumors both ways.

The alpha is pretty impressive, but I cannot figure out some things. I printed one item faster on the MK4 then the P1P by 4 minutes on a 38-minute print. Another was 22 minutes slower on a 4-hour print.Yes. Apparently there is a school of thought that open loop input shaping MK4 works well enough that the accelerometer is not needed.
