The child machine made its first successful grandchild part at 14:00 hours UTC on 29 May 2008 at Bath University in the UK, a few minutes after it was assembled.
I assume this is just the brackets and plastic parts, right? Or can it literally do the entire thing, modulo maybe a few screws and wires?
I think it is safe to say that the flex drive is a 'fragile' part. The ball chain is easier to get, so that's also an improvement.
Smri McCarthy : 3:25 PM I updated the Wikipedia RepRap article to include some of the recent advances. Would it be possible to release the photo attached to this thread with a GFDL or CreativeCommons license so it could be used to illustrate the Wikipedia article?
And not just for your congratulations - you have contributed both work and ideas without which we all would never have got here. The picture is covered by the GPL, like every other byte on the RepRap site.
