I feel like some kind of fold up option is just going to cause problems. I wonder if a delta would be better for that- haven’t played with one but maybe the up-and-down motion would be easier to self calibrate and compensate for any play.
The Positron 3D manages the folding aspect really well. Definitely worth checking out how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAPaOevoeX0
this project is awesome. thanks for sharing. now I want a v3
really hope this this makes some big progress soon.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.
Since I got some step losses on my printer (fixed long ago), I keep wondering if our lives wouldn't be much better with closed loop controlling of all the movements.
The irony of precision calibration, if you loose calibration you loose calibration and you’re never getting it back.
If you measure 3 times accurately enough, you’ll get 3 different answers.
I’m just saying taking the UBL leveling a step further and actively compensate for out-of-squareness in the frame. This would allow some out of squareness as long as the frame was rigid. The alternative is squaring everything as you put it together.
