XL print head on mk3s.

Now to start, its 3am here and my mind has just been blown with all the different ways of printing i never knew about that a 3am internet rabbihole might push upon someone, such as non-planar slicing, conic slicing, penta access 5 axis printing and whatnot, and then was thinking, oh, well just how would I achieve that on a mk3s+ (because thats what I have atm) and then decided that it was probably a better idea to start off with a different machine to totally destroy- or just a i3 style machine, but then had me wondering- With this new style of extruder released for the XL, is that going to be the next step for the i3? because a mk4 with a XL head would be cool yeah? if I can read correctly, its a bit lighter as well. Even if its not all super "hot swappable" idk the term exactly, that mechanism in general onto an i3. And im sorry to you all who see this as a totally obvious, but I didnt really see it anywhere.

RE: XL print head on mk3

I can’t wait to see how real the “perfect first layer” ends up being. 
I suspect though that the kind of feedback that would need requires more horsepower than an einsy board has. So it’ll be waiting for a bigger upgrade and not just another incremental rev to a MK3

When someone asks you if you're a god, you say, "YES!"
