Random thought... a half-size reprap with all parts precision machined, appropriate reductions, etc... would print half-size models. It wouldn't even necessarily know that the models being printed were half-size. What if everyone is printing differently sized parts? Just a thought. Great... now I really want a really... really... really tiny reprap. How to know what you're printing:... print a ruler... or something of a fixed known size to the reference reprap. n.n Same with scanning. My real post will be forthcoming. As an aside, if people wish to drag this offtopic... so be it.

The only advantage is it's possible to print a set of RP parts for the Huxley much faster and of course it is more portable for taking to shows, meets, show & tell, etcetera.]]> rhmorrison General Fri, 17 Dec 2010 03:25:24 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,68553,68565#msg-68565 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,68553,68565#msg-68565
So you'll have half-size objects with the same accuracy as the 1:1 ones, or you'r detail quality will reduce by the same factor 8-)]]> VDX General Fri, 17 Dec 2010 03:22:43 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,68553,68558#msg-68558 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,68553,68558#msg-68558

Folk like it, but we're fussy on whether or not it is good value compared to a full grown mendel.]]> SebastienBailard General Fri, 17 Dec 2010 02:33:52 -0500 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,68553,68553#msg-68553 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,68553,68553#msg-68553 Just a thought.
