CoreXY is just the kinematic type. The belt arrangement. Useful for tool changers, yes, but not just.

Oh, and I'm using a glass tabletop for a bed. 600mm diameter. About USD $40 from Amazon in the US. It is about 6MM thick, This makes it fairly flat (you can glare light off the top and the reflection is not distorted much, if at all). The heater works very well through that thickness. Heater was custom made, about USD $220. I just used the adhesive it came with and stuck it on the glass.

The glass is only supported at six points, and smart-effector mesh maps typically look like this:

For two aluminum 1/4 inch plates, I am getting a $450 price quote.
The tolerances quoted are not great.
As you can see I have staggered holes to accommodate different geometries.

The real kicker is that if you go up to 25 parts the price goes down from $200 each to $80-$100 each.
It would be great if this could be cost-shared in some way.
