3d Printer Part 12

I put the motor from a scanner on the slide from a printer. I got my gears and mounted one on a motor to get the bed moving. It works great pulling but it chatters when pushing so I'll be rethinking that. In the latter part of this video, can see the z axis working with slide mounted on it:


My extruder parts came and I mounted them on one of my motors. Please ignore the fact the pictures are blurry or I will destroy you.

...is a cool game! And is the inspiration for my next android game project. I don't have pictures yet but the code has been started. I believe the genre is called Metroidvania. Many Android platformers don't feel right when you play them like the little dude isn't moving fast enough or there is something wrong with the gravity.

Note the draw function knows when to 180 the shadow in the right direction so shadows aren't on the top of the branches. Not all of the trees look this good. Many are scraggly or unbalanced. Meh, it's a work in progress! YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST! Got the gameplay mapped out. You will grow your tree from a seed and care for it and shape it to your whim using real(virtually) bonsai techniques. Watering and feeding schedules will be determined based on seasons and whether or not the tree is in training(stress) and health, etc Most recent emanation:  Whew! The ...
