        <title>challenge: create XY-table</title>
        <description> I dare you to take my vice
[www.thingiverse.com]
or the mendel-design or start from scratch and create
a table that can be moved in X and y direction
by 2 hand-weels!

(perfect below a fixed column drill)

Bonus points for a column-drill that can hold a dremel
or (better)any tool with the repman, mendel or makerbot
toolhead-mount. (These can be made from plastic, I have one
and it works fine. They can be designed to be printed and
there does not need to be any part larger then the practical
work-area of a RepMan or Mendel/Darwin that can be used
without warping.)


THE FIRST ONE TO DESIGN A PRINTABLE VERSION AND DOES NOT HAVE A PRINTER (YET) GETS A PRINTED COPY.


Update:
I also created a wiki-page for the challenges I am offering. [www.bitsfrombytes.com]</description>

            <description><![CDATA[ And another challenge:<br />
<br />
[<a href="http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1703" target="_blank"  rel="nofollow">www.thingiverse.com</a>]<br />
<br />
Get 10 small mendel parts or 2 larger ones or your design printed for<br />
adapting my RepMan Dremel milling-toolhead to fit the Mendel.<br />
<br />
See:<br />
[<a href="http://objects.reprap.org/wiki/Mendel_X-axis" target="_blank"  rel="nofollow">objects.reprap.org</a>]<br />
Note that you will probably have to design a new x-carriage-lower_1off or even<br />
also a x-carriage-upper_1off due to the poor design of the Mendel x-carriage<br />
regarding mounting alternative tools that are wider then 22mm.<br />
<br />
<br />
5 additional small or 1 large parts if you can do it so extruder and mill can be switched with 4 or less easily accessible screws.<br />
<br />
