We're planning a SHDC on Sat 27th March, 7.30-late. Sound good?

Tentatively at "The Shop"

See you there!

Hi,

I'll probably be there too. Have know about SDHC for a while but now that I want to build my own 3D printer and I am looking for other people interested in this and to get feedback on my other projects.

Ah, 3D printers. I'd like one too, but they're expensive. Martin (and others) were looking at a new design last meetup.

I was looking at this design for a 2 axis positioner built around a
Sarrus Linkage. Its pretty cool (no sliding parts). I think the parts
were built on a Reprap.

and http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1425

I was thinking about how it could be modified by adding a 3rd axis built
around the similarly awesome Paucellier linkage (like the Sarrus
linkage, you get a linear constraint with no sliding parts):

No reason why one should prefer one linkage over the other, its just
they're pretty damn cool.

It works I tell thee. Well on the upside I now know that my idea for a printer works, on the downside it appears that someone has already done it, but I still like the simplicity of the idea and think it would make a good candidate for a first 3D printer.
 
I'll be at the meet so happy to talk more about 3D printers there or before hand
