From hackaday, though I assume that a fair chunk of you read that already ;) [hackaday.com] Mostly interesting because the platform has a nice built-in absolute positioning system, which various people have been talking about. Probably not so practical for a reprap... I'm anticipating a certain amount of innacuracy and speed problems when drawing short arcs. But for smaller cartesian bots this might be practical, you never know. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,17311,17311#msg-17311 Wed, 15 Jul 2026 05:47:46 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,17311,17374#msg-17374 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?14,17311,17374#msg-17374
I am looking at doing something similar but using a swing arm with a normal linear pot providing active positioning information.
