    yeah was just admiring the simplicity of it. was questioning how accurate the rack and pinion drives are though... i suppose the real defining factor is the software..

    Agree with that too. But this is just a proof of concept for me. Just want to see if I could do it
    So far so good!

    What did you do for the linear bearings? or are they just guides?

    This is so cool!!! It is kind of pointless... But it is really neat how little non-plastic hardware you have! Doing something like this highlights how important calibration is. If your boot strap printer is not calibrated, certainly the Frost printer won't be able to hold any tolerances! It will be interesting to see how tight of tolerances it can hold when it starts duplicating itself!

    The printed I used to print parts with is near flawless, so the printed parts are damn fine

    My printer has most of the components added now, need to wire it up and fix a few things.
    Still deciding on a few things. Just extra pointless crap...

    I really do like it.
    Really.

    I really hope it doesn't vibrate itself apart.

    Keep up the good work.
