Holy ****. That's incredible.

These are known as (continuous) belt 3d printers and they have been around for a while. I seem to remember Naomi Wu was a proponent of them and was working with somebody to develop one, but she's mostly dropped off the web a couple of years ago.

Core XY printers seem to be where the marketplace is today. Materials and belt compatibility are issues.

Looks like the Creality CR-30 is mostly not available any more and a IR3 V2 goes for $1180 on amazon... Ten were available if you hurry...
