Well polished steel on polished steel with a thin film of oil works well, true. But it's rather a pain as soon as the oil is poluted by dust. Since there are very very cheap linearbearings (steel, ptfe coated) that cost less than a skatebearing (that is if you don't have the skatebearing laying around of course) I would not encourage to do so. Also a skatebearing is not meant to stand lateral fby sid - Mechanics

Hi Forrest, So, got home quickly, for reporting my own post Stupid me shouldn't post in forums when not awake So since the first of my "not at home" posts is gone already, here the full set of information bundled: I've read about that issue some month ago at: Here a short quote Quote....

ponoko has three sizes to offer: P1 7.1"x7.1" (181x181 mm) P2 15.1"x15.1" (384x384 mm) P3 31.1"x15.1" (790x384 mm) The question is, depending on how well the parts are layed out already, could you reduce the total amount to two sheets (P3) maybe? that'd reduce the costs (whom do I tell... sorry) 'sidby sid - Reprappers

writing an SD Card is no too trivial task unfortunately. Somehow it's pretty easy to end the cards lifetime in a very short time, by just making the right errors For example writing a full fat everytime can blow a 2GB Card in less than 1000 files (write mode). formating the card will help just one or two times, then it's just a 2GB ROM 'sidby sid - General
Well in fact they are! I myself, have in total three old MP3 players , four digital cameras, two digital picture frames and if you let me count in microSD three Phones no four, that are making use of SD Cards in this household.

You might want to try with ptfe-spray for coating. You'll find it at the hardware store Afaik industrial metal molds aren't "greased" at all.

We even made "ghosts" that way by placing some figurines under the cans. So I guess (without tryingby sid - Plastic Extruder Working Group

Sorry, I don't get it; SD-Card Reader are not only cheap around here, You'll get them as a present sometimes when you buy a SD-Card And if not, there is always a 2Bucks Cardreader laying around at the next shop. this one comes in disgusting colors (mine was yellowish-green and a present for buying a 2GB Card) So why do you have to add the 8 dollar Chip again?

Oh even vBulletin has its limitations... And I love to work with it too But don't blame it on Phorum. I had to install a somewhat modified version of vbstopforumspam to get rid of the spammers.
