This would be the right place for it:I hope I'm not hijacking your thread here, maybe I should start a separate thread in hardware or builds related category when I start building this 3d printer.

37 m/min! Wow! I was starting to worry these motors will look tiny on such a big printer maybe I should look at bigger motors haha.
I will plan on using these motors with 2:1 reduction and 60mm dia. drum. 3 axis plus I can use the 4th output from this Lichuan driver for the small extruder motor.
My Elegoo Neptune 3 Max has a max rated speed of 6.4 m/min and they recommend printing at 3.6 m/min. The guy running the fast little FLSUN printer will probably share with me what the slicer settings look like for such high speed printing. The FLSUN S1 does 72 m/min. but I'm not interested in trying to match that any time soon. That printer has even less build volume than my elegoo.
The extruder - I will probably start with the spare head I think I got for my other printer, but I read recently about a new printer model, can't recall what it was called. It used high frequency induction heat to heat the nozzle, allowing the heater in the print head to heat up and cool off in seconds because the mass of the heater was reduced to pretty much just the nozzle. I might try that later.
