Why'd you use a quarter-internal-half thread thingy with grubscrew on the Z, instead of a regular thread with a nut? Seems like 10x more complexity with a drawback of having no strength and less precision?
If you put the printhead on a pair of Servos (2 axis) so it can rotate 45-degrees in any axis - you'd be able to update this design so it can also print an infinite X and Y axis, as well as Z, and also do other useful print gymnastics (like printing on the side of things for overhangs)
The design is not yet finished, but we will release it (hopefully) next month, we will announce it on twitter an probably later write a follow-up article here. /SunShine

Hello, I saw a video on the infini-Z 3D printer. How, or where do I get it?
Hi, thank you for the interest!

Thanks, but I don’t use/have Twitter or too much social media. What platform or website will
It be released on?
Released! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ek_7tBOCcAI
