Polymorph extrusion is working. I'm excited.

I also mounted a small rotary tool on the Z axis.

I am curious about the size of your McWire inspired machine. Can you tell me the L, W and H dimensions? Thanks.

The dimensions of the pipe frame are:

Width: 30"
Depth: 21"
Height: 16"

I initially had a longer pipe in for the height, but, I made a mistake in my Z axis design and had to shorten it. I'm probably going to change that later.

A 15x10" work area? Pretty decent. Congrats and good luck!

(BTW, my only personal issue with the Mcwire based designs is the vertical stiffness of the Z axis, just keep an eye on it!)

The work area is a bit smaller than that. Those measurements are to the outside of the pipes, but my endstops are on the inside.
