Luna is a new RepRap machine which doesnt use threaded rods and has only a few small thick sheet parts, so a true RepRap.
I wanted to have a universal construction element (round tube) and all the rest should be in plastic parts (so we can upgrade / print new ones easily).
So all the complexity is put in the plastic parts, therefor this design is very upgradeble and independant of thick sheet suppliers etc.
All tubing is standard central heating tubing (or alu tubing or any tube can be used, like wood etc.)

This was proto1 build from aluminium tubes and plastic parts (tight fit) assembled with just a hammer, but it was a bit too tight as you can see on the damaged plastic parts, however assembly was fast!
This was proto2 build from central heating tube (steel round 15mm) and plastic parts bolted together.
Note: there are only three different plastic parts so far, and we have the frame and the moving YZ ready...
