[bvandiepenbos]

this looks like a fun simple build.
like I need another project, but I sure would like to build one of these.

Confused.....what is 4D on this one?

The 4th dimension is time.... It takes forever to print

Very similar design to the Printrbot Simple. I like the cog driven y-axis, though you'd need a pretty good printer to start with to get good tolerance on those parts.

yes, it is similar to pbs
I don't think it would be that hard to print the rack and pinion.
Printing with a Rostock should be fine.
Or, they have a earlier version that uses fishing line drive, which does a decent job... use that to print your own upgraded rack drive!

So is it called a smart rap or a smar trap?



A squirrel trap that is.
