A new branch, MGN12H is it possible? #3

Do you think that using a MGN12H on each rail can be a new flavour?

The MGN12H cartridge is using a 20x20mm bolt pattern (a little bigger). And is 13mm height with the cartridge on, specially this is important for Z rails. (the gantry is going to be 6mm shorter for sure)

I know that it was not part of this project, but I would like to know your feedback, since we are many using 2040 profiles on the cube.

It's certainly doable, but it would require a complete redesign. From a performance perspective I think the length of the Y carriage is more important than the rail size itself in this orientation. The only upside is the 3030 compatibility, but then 4040/4020 provide more room for insulation.

Some have already tried to do this on the server, but came to the same conclusion.
