Hi, couldn't shut up, that machine looks fabulous .... BUT .... it's not a delta ....it's a gantry, deltas have a joint and a central arm for torque ....
THis made me happy just to look at ! thanks. ( btw. what kind of avr ? and fixed or floating math ? ...... please answer offlist ) 2012/8/29 Charles Steinkuehler <[email protected]>: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > On 8/29/2012 10:45 AM, EBo wrote: >> On Wed, 29 Aug 2012 16:22:22 +0200, Lars Segerlund wrote: >>> I want to add my 2 cents also, it would be really nice to have a >>> setup for the fabbing guys .... for repraps, mendels and such ... >>> that they can run straight out of the box ......
