Re: Considering a new extruder design - 13 years ago
A simplified extruder design is highly appreciated. However, mass production neither matches the project goals, nor does it match the habits of users. Hmmm ... I know that along with self-built extruders, we've got a few entrepreneurs who do up and sell ... ?90%? of the extruders? Dunno. Big % of the total, I imagine, since most of us don't have lathes and mills. Then, perhaps, you should lookby SebastienBailard - Plastic Extruder Working Group

Re: Next RepRap - 13 years ago
This will undoubtedly make it more difficult for a newcomer without a mentor. Not necessarily. We can easily have a few "popular flavors" which will accumulate good documentation in the wiki. The more a machine breeds in the wild, the more people will want to polish the docs.by SebastienBailard - General
Re: Next RepRap - 13 years ago
and where do I learn of its development - probably the development section http://reprap.org/wiki/Special:RecentChanges is good.

Re: Next RepRap - 13 years ago
Who decides on the next RepRap - I know its a community project but someone must be spearheading it. Bwahahahaahah! Do one up in the wiki and then I'll flip a switch on the webserver and tell everyone they should be printing yydoctt-mendels and selling yydoctt-electronics to the punters. And then we'll all have a laugh and they'll print and sell whatever they like. I think we're technicallyby SebastienBailard - General
Re: AdderFab from open3dp - 13 years ago
As salt can withstand much higher temperatures than sugar but is water soluble too, this could be a good candidate for support material for other methodes too (e.g. laser-sintering).

Re: Forum Consolidation - 13 years ago
Have you ever tried to crosspost from a mailing list to a forum thread or vice versa? I do know that the (misnamed) RUGs need email in order to actually work well. And the forum administration forum needs to have email so that issues go into my email inbox. And general-forum needs to be merged with reprap-users mailing list.

Re: Forum Consolidation - 13 years ago
Trying to enforce people to use one communications medium or another (forum vs. mailing list) drives away people, IMHO. Right now, there are machines talked up in the Gada prize forum that reprap-dev does not know about. The developers who did them up aren't getting feedback and commendations from their peers. This situation offends me; it seems unfair to the Gada prize devs. Similarly, Stepby SebastienBailard - Administration, Announcements, Policy

Re: RepRep Book - 13 years ago
Sebastian has a good point. Instead of a book, it's better to improve and keep updating the wiki to make it easier to find information.

Who wants their mailbox full of development discussions? "Developers" do.
