Lol true, but those fans do rotate colours, green might be making a special appearance for the weekend thats in it!
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07 ... UTF8&psc=1I like these a lot as they come with their own speed/colour controller board which I rigged to the stock On/Off switch (I just turn off at the wall switch anyhow).

Indeed! I have had them like that for months now, ever since getting the Prometheus Duel extruder system. Their guide talks about the improvements of "flying delta" for bowden tube hysteresis so I tried many different flying configs, including very getto bungie cords and the like. I also tried mounting diretly on the arms but that basically adds the weight back to the effector platform Delta's were made to remove.
These "Prostuders" are indeed heavy, but doesnt seem to be a problem mounted this way. And now they truely are flying! I used the stock thumb nut and screw on a custom plate to mount them, each base plate is mounted with a single screw drilled
through the SeeMeCNC transparent carriages. This way they rotate smoothly as the printer moves up and down on the z-axis. It really works well despite what you may think! The only problem is the platform will not stay up without power now (it lurches down). Obviously that makes no different when printing or "idle".
Yes the 3rd, stock, extruder is there to at somewhat balance the weight. Ideally, once I confirm Prometheus Systems's Filaswitch post-processor for Simplify3d works with 3 extruders I will add a 3rd Prostruder there and Ill have 3 equal and excellent extruders.
To that end I'm currently making a mod for the Polybox to hold 3 filament rolls vs the 2 it does standard.
