If you want to see more of the ZGE in action there are lots of videos posted on Twitter, @neotko being the top poster as he does some crazy things with his printers, with the hashtag gudozge:

And more can be seen with the hashtag gudoxycore where it is combined with his coreXY mod:

I understand gudo, the guy who designed it, passed away not long after, but I think you already know that... https://community.ultimaker.com/topic/23576-gudo-the-humble-man-with-great-ideas/
Yes, I wrote that (sad) post 
I have, what is probably his last design, from an idea I had. He had created a coreXY mod for UM2/UMO+ and I wanted to put together a 2Go version of that. So we were communicating and I was hoping he could share the parts he used (they were not public at that time) so I could try to fit them on my custom frame...but he asked for the file for my frame and when he came back I got a complete step-file of the printer I had described to him 
That design, and the one for the big UM2/UMO has now been made public by @neotko who helped Gudo a lot (and is the one who runs those printers almost 24/7).

The only issue I have had with the ZGE is that the printed part that drives the Bondtech gears breaks after many hours of use. So I redesigned it to use a piece of aluminium tube instead. But I still run 2.85 filament that, I believe, puts more strain on that part than if you, like Neotko, use 1.75 filament.
Some call the ZGE over-engineered...I say it is an excellent solution to have direct drive on a "weak" gantry like the UM's have.
For remote-direct-drive extruders, I thought this one was interesting: https://community.ultimaker.com/topic/16452-zero-gravity-direct-drive-extruder/
He even made a dual-tool-changer version: https://community.ultimaker.com/topic/19345-zge-mark2/Ian
Interesting that you found that extruder 
I have been running the ZGE extruder on my UMO+, with an UM2 printhead, for ~3 years. It's one of the best upgrades I made. Another guy, who prints tiny details, has 3 printers with that extruder in his shop.

I can fix that but I wanted to make sure it was actually an issue before I did as it does require some work and coordination with the DWC.
There is no rush, at least from my side, it will be some time before I can start playing with DueUI for real. But i'm looking forward to being able to customize the UI once I have the Duet3d and all the rest fully working.
@gtj0 Yes,that is what I meant...perhaps I should have made my case clearer...
But on the other hand, if you have the printer on a closed network, it would be rare if you would access DueUI from a browser that has internet access. I can understand why it is implemented this way, at least in this initial state, but removing that limitation in the future would be nice. Especially since Duet3D itself doesn't have this limitation.
This is awesome...and has a lot of potential
My printer isn't 100% ready yet but I downloaded this and tried playing around with it. But DueUI only works if you have your printer on a network with internet access, or where the printer is allowed to access internet, since all the third-party javascripts and css is loaded from public cdn's.
I tried building my own version of DueUI with local resources...but there are at least some issues with the theme afaik, since the Duet3D decides itself where it wants to place different filetypes. All I ended up with was a start page where I was supposed to fill in the connection details for the printer...hitting save and reload did nothing...and the js-console did not show any errors.
@gtj0 said in [Preview] DueUI: An Alternate Web Interface:
I did look at bootstrap but it seemed more complicated than jQuery. I'll look again though.
That would be awesome...and another benefit would be that you could leverage the bootstrap that is already part of the Duet3D so you would not even need to bundle it...unless for the case when you want to run DueUI on another computer and not the printer itself.
