What do people make of the Robox printer: http://robox.cel-uk.com/robox/rbx1.html

I have been thinking about getting a decent lathe, but a 3d printer would get more use. I don't want to spend a fortune but I want good detail in the parts.

What 3d printers do you guys have, what are the pros/cons would you recommend it or do you know of something else good on the market?

We did have a dudeweight class a while go that was 1oz 28.3g I think that was a 1" cube. 2" cube 25g would an interesting challenge to drive.

I have just had an email from shapeways with there new pricing system. I used to put all my parts into a single file so I only got the €1.5 handeling fee once, this has changed to €1.5 per part making multiple parts very very expensive. One of my multiple parts files for €2 new price €35. The overal...

I am looking for a motor / servo with more than 10kg / cm torquethe more the better as speed isn't important. I have used a fingertech silver 300:1 but the gearbox failed in the middle of the chain. I am going to get a 600 : 1 motor but wanted to see if anyone knows of anything under 40g.

I have stripped a 298:1 HP motor on 2 cells. That was stalled but not for very long.

Scott did the glue fail on the Ali or on the HPDE?

Parts have become light enough to in theory make a CO2 regulated antweight, All the parts that have higher pressure would have to be rated for this.

The weapon could be limited to 100psi to meet the rules or 150psi to meet the maximum rating of the valve. What are peoples thoughts on this?
