First, I'd like to express gratitude for your work. I know it's not ane asy work and very time consuming.

I'm building a cartesean V-Cast 1.5. Many people ask why I choose this instead an more active CoreXY project and my reason to this is that I don't have any FDM printer yet and needed to print tons of parts for my 500x500 CoreXY. V-Cast is cheap, I can find most of the parts locally (many of them I already had laying around, like MGN12) and have only a few parts that need printing to be assembled. Also, having an additional printer for smaller parts or parallel work is nice too.

Now, let's talk about the printhead... I've tried to get some help on Discord group, but since everyone is building CoreXY these days, V-Cast builds aren't getting much attention.

I'm planning to use an Orbiter V2 and a Phaetus Rapido V2. I'm not sure if I would have any benefit from an UHF version.
I read on the EVA documentation that V-Cast isn't being supported anymore. Please, would you kindly give me some advices on how to proceed? What parts do I need to use? What need to be adjusted? I'm really lost... Any help would be greatly appreciated!
