    @shannonb1: what @Baptx meant is that 3D printing is economical et handy!
    but the pain is that it requires many setup refinings (feeding speed according to diameter) to get precise results

    So what I took from it was an insult on my 3d printed objects and skills. Ive only had it about 2 weeks now but I think its doing pretty well and my ability to model objects in a matter of minutes to suit my need is impressive enough for me. Are they perfect, No. Do I have ways to improve them, yes, and will over time. Right now my eye is on finishing the wheel but keeping it looking good as I go. Tonight I will solder the DB15 connector and mount the Argon and the Discovery board and my in line filter. Ill post some pics. Had a meeting at 10 last night with some folks over seas so I was too tired to tinker.

    WDYM? DDW or my next project the surge and sway table? DDW once upon a time, not before the next year. I am happy with my T500RS.

    Everything is wired in. Just need to plug the db15 into the disco board and installed software/firmware stuff. Few bolts to mount it to my rig.
