Looks like Steve Graber thinks he came across a new idea

Air Struding anyone?

yes, looks like the same concept.
And he is even using SeeMe's EzStruder.

Was Glenn's Airstruder idea posted anywhere publicly as proof he came up with it first?
If so Steve should give attribution credit to Glenn.

Don't know. I have YouTube Video from last year. Jim just posted on Steve's Google+ Page a video of his AirStruding setup. Tons of people at the Midwest Rep Rap Festival also saw all 3 of our AirStuder setups.

Good for Steve! It definitely looks like he arrived there on his own. The design is not a direct copy of the setups we've been testing, but he was obviously trying to solve the same problem that Glenn set out to. Interesting how great minds think alike, huh?

Maybe if a few more people in the community experiment with similar ideas, there will be some neat breakthroughs on the horizon! Maybe an air-multi-EZ-CMYK-struder ?

I am curious how the silicone tubing behaves as a stretchy support wire. Pretty neat.

I like his ducted layer cooling fan too. Although, I think I'd mount the fan up top and just run a longer tube.

I remember discussing this with Brian a while back and brainstorming different tubing ideas.

I posted it, but I be damned if I can find it! lol.

[ZionPhil]

Glenn, didn't you post it on reprap?

[BeeAmaker]

Found my original version,


Not sure if I posted an updated version.

Looks like Steve Graber deleted all my comments about Glenn doing this first and two others of us doing it last year. Dubious.

Not surprised. Repost LOL.

[jimustanguitar]

My comments are still there

[ZionPhil]

I know (Jim), because your comment doesn't state "We did it first" LOL. Just says you did it also.
