Extruder rotation on wider angle #52

Current rotation is around 300 degrees, you can double-check using the CAD. B axis has more angle freedom than what you gonna use as you wont rotate the toolhead to print on +X ( > direction looking from the front of the printer) below the extrusion or +X directly above the extrusion, also you cannot rotate TOO much otherwise you gonna hit the parts with the umbilical cord and just cause other problems because of that, the "reach" during printing is quite large due the combination of all axis, I cannot see the need of more than 220~ degrees on the toolhead. |

Hello everyone, I was wondering if there would be any added value in increasing the angle of rotation of the extruder.

The current design seems to allow ~230° rotation, whereas with a few modifications, you could easily allow ~340°.
