Excellent query, the path length of each stroke integrates and once it hits a threshold it returns for more paint. This threshold is brush-dependent so The gcode relies on subroutines which aren't so common for 3d printers, take a look

Recently finished reviving an ancient SCARA robot, adding a modern control software, giving it a paintbrush and with the help of comrades python-ing it into painting with a paintbrush. Its a bit heavy on the robot mechanical and electrical

I've been using budgetvm's openvz VPS's for 2 yrs. Fairly happy, plenty of options for space if you need it.

Its incredibly frustrating that these folks keep going through funding cuts, engineering staff are constantly keeping an eye out for a wave of layoffs. Frustration doesn't begin to describe it. Science comes to a halt every time there&

The onewheel folks's prototype inspired a lot of my build, there's quite a bit of tech to keep something like this happy and safe to use, check out their manufacturing line: http://techcrunch.com/2015/01/

Small world! The flying nimbus-thing is my contraption, feel free to ask any questions. Just moved servers so some of the photos may load artificially small.

Recently finished a self-balancing skateboard contraption, and thought you folks might be interested. Its more intro micro-controller and heavier on the machining side, but, it was an interesting experience on iterative design.

I built one from an ancient, industrial robot. Its been a learning experience to say the least. In terms of things that I've done with it, I stopped going out and buying moderate-sized containers for things and opted to print, I used i
