Assuming every hinge there is motorized, that’s 6 servos. That looks like a nightmare to calibrate, which it will need to do a lot of if it’s shoved in some backpack for travel on a routine basis.
And the print head looks like a bitch to take apart to service if you get a jam.
Yeah this thing would suffer really hard from over time degradation and you would have no way to fix it probably. Its like the Iphone of 3D printers. The beauty of 3D printers is exactly that everything is exposed and can be easily modified, repaired or replaced.

Working with 6 axis industrial robots with astonishing repeatability precision, this still wouldn’t be enough for a 3D printer
I’m doubting the practical feasibility as well
Yeah. And those industrial bots you work with are all metal, with high torque motors most likely.
Meanwhile this thing is going to be using the cheapest servos that can just barely meet the torque requirements, all in a plastic housing arm.
Gonna stick with my ender 3.
It’s really weird to take as pessimistic a view as possible on something that doesn’t even exist, and conclude that it’s terrible.
