Hello all. I'm a newbie to the reprap project. I saw a demo of a Mendel at a local robotics club meeting in Atlanta, GA, USA. I was very impressed. I want to own one of these machines and will be following the developments with interest.
I've been browsing around the reprap website and find it very interesting and informative. I do have a small complaint however, and couldn't figure anywhere else to put it.
On this page: [
reprap.org] , the 9th video down is hosted on blip.tv. As soon as you play the video, it throws an ad in your face, and periodically thereafter. You cannot stop the ad once it starts. I'm running Firefox under Ubuntu. I had to forcibly kill Firefox and then kill the flash process in order to get the ad to shut up and release my CPU. Even after shutting down Firefox, the ad continued talking. This is extremely annoying. I would ask that you do not use a service such as this.
Otherwise, like the printer, like the site. Fascinating developments in the field of home manufacturing.
