Are very much desirable properties in a repstrap. <br /><br />Whilst I very much admire the skills and craftwork that have been going into some of the other variants your own contribution very much scores points for lowering cost through reuse and reduced skills costs.<br /><br />It would be great to see a repstrap that was every bit as simple as the McWire but more of the parts could be re-used.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8272215453876745356.post-47726185561907256482010-03-18T08:12:38.959-07:002010-03-18T08:12:38.959-07:00I'll be posting here more.

I have not posted on a blog before, but I like the idea of sharing what I learn.<br /><br />I wish I could say I am an innovator, but many have been following a similar path, and are replicating the Mendel much more faithfully.<br /><br />I only have a box of hand-tools (and a cordless drill) which makes detail reproduction harder, so just think of my RepStrap as being in the spirit of Mendel.<br /><br />also check out these blogs since they inspired my design:<br />http://wooden-mendel.blogspot.com<br />http://www.gilesbathgate.com/category/reprap/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02659008091237945194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8272215453876745356.post-30072890768192757832010-03-18T07:45:31.716-07:002010-03-18T07:45:31.716-07:00Do you have a regular blog/web site ??Do you have a regular blog/web site ??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8272215453876745356.post-29535783989180266412010-03-18T07:44:45.698-07:002010-03-18T07:44:45.698-07:00Wow, that is impressive.

I really like the idea of having a rep-strap that is Mendel like and more of the parts can be reused as you print your real Mendel parts.<br /><br />I will follow your work closely.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
