I don't know how far in your 3d printer design you are Luke, or even if something like this is useful/feasible( it's a completely different extruder and servos), but I'm leaving it here for future reference.

The actual paper is unfortunately behind a paywall.

yes i saw it, meant to post it, thank you bill. look at the video: can you see how much the printbed, which is on springs, is shaking side-to-side? whoops... :) the drag force of the filament is *so great* it's causing the printbed to move sideways.

it just goes to show that you need to cover *all* the bases. any one thing (and i forgot to stabilise the printbed too) and you get rubbish-for-a-print.
