Has anybody thought about moving the frame from horizontal to vertical? I have a 10’ ceiling so on the angle I think it should work? Just wondering from a floor space saving idea.

Here is my quick, and very newbie thoughts: Pros -takes up less horizontal space (providing you can accommodate a taller frame) -minimizes the stress on the sled/motors/frame when in the highest position (less horizontal distance between motors) Cons -components are much hig…

Thank you
