Why so complicated? You can print out a dozen parts at the same time if you use a plate with a dozen extruders all in one head.with the appropriate distance to each other. they often have 6 or more tools in one head .
I'd argue that a significant problem with that approach is that it is not generalizable. What happens if you need to print 6 15x100mm objects one day, and five 18x100mm objects the next day? The three-bed or solution will get you 3x the productivity, (number of prints produced per unit time,) regardless of whether the prints are small dice or large skulls. Those PCB drilling rigs are set up to manage the same-size master-board day in and day out.
Starting from Morgan as it exists today, one could get by with only THREE modified parts - the Psi and Theta A arms, (becoming three-pointed stars,) and a similar part to lift 3 Z-bed mounting brackets. And I think you'd want a different shape of supporting structure - the thought of TWELVE of the angled pvc legs in one structure makes my head swim.
