Re: how to use MakerBot Electronics with Stepper Extruder? - 14 years ago

wow, you rock! I'm on the RepG dev team (mostly watching, for now), so I'm very much looking forward to the patch. I can help merge it into master if needed. btw, Bowden style extruder for MakerBot is documented here: sources and design are all in svn already. it will be excellent.

I've tried many things, all to no avail: • vanilla .skeinforge folder • moved location of skeinforge to different places • tried with different .stl files that

Re: Blender - 16 years ago

noob question... when you say "I know you can't print this..." why wouldn't you be able to print that? it's quite complicated but it seems it could be done in a layer-by-layer approach...
