I've constructed a prototype turntable from Meccano that automatically
lowers itself up to 60mm, currently at 0.75mm per revolution though this
can be changed. This is intended for use in experiments in continuously
extruding recycled HDPE. Are JPEG attachments appropriate for this list,
or indeed Heath Robinson contraptions?
Anyway, I discovered that a phenomenal amount of bracing is required to
keep the turntable descending smoothly. I wondered what designs were
being considered for movable platforms for the RepRap?
