This is really very nice work. The 'toothpaste' extruded material is very interesting.

Love the psychedelic prints!

Nice job. With 3 motors the carriage would be quite heavy. Perhaps this would work better with a Bowden style where the motors are on the frame?

Amazing!!!

Your print quality is the best I've seen. Freakishly sharp.

I hope to have the same success tweaking the multitude of parameters when I reach that stage on my two custom machines.

Thanks everyone! Always something new to do with RepRap.

@Grogyan -glad you liked the video, I thought it was about time I appeared in one!

@Cluso99 - yea it's a bit heavier, not a problem for MendelMax, but a Bowden version would be fantastic on a Tantillus, Rostock or an Ultimaker.

@Dave - good luck with the build-up and go for the Delta bot first - it's the future

@rich (sorry for hijacking this extrusion thread further)

wish I could turn back time a bit (damn you ROSTOCK!), as I feel the financial tractor beam pulling me towards the gantry first.
cash avalanche has me buried on this one.

Will be assembling in very near future, just need a couple more corner rod towers printed.
The 80/20 bits are here already as well.

I agree that Delta is the future. period.

Belt drive towers clearly works and some are discussing fast lead ball screws, or rack and pinion or even air slides.

I like the linear rails/blocks for all they solve and Ebay is riddled with great deals on them.

The part count and construction is probably 1/4 or less versus gantry.
I am accumulating components already.
