Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: reprap build started

Hi Al,

Yeah, we could have some fun! The extruder I can figure out and build.

To actually use it, one has to master true 3D, STL, and the programs
that accomplish them for us. RepRat is apparently using several
programs to generate the Gcode from the STL files (or the eqv.) I'm
still researching all that.

The information out there IS much better then 6-9 mo. ago, when I last
looked.

I suspect the "drawings" are mostly in STL for the RepRat parts, rather
then .DXF or even .JPG. Kinda figures, but I'd like to look at the
drawings. STL files can be "run", but don't lead to modification (or
easy understanding) as far as I know.
