Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Hexapod- Hexaslide

Well, about a week ago I asked about hexapod style machines, and got a
few answers. THIS RECENT INFORMATION, however, is incredible.

I love Till's design...fixed length struts and vertically mounted lead
screws -- talk about simple. I wonder if there's a way to simplify it
even further -- by eliminating some of the degrees of freedom (home
hobbyist design could be 3 "axis") perhaps?

I'm still concerned about the software end of it all, though...
