[David White]

Just got back from the makers fair NYC. Ted and the boys were all thare , they have come up with a 3d print head for the bot looks really sharp. Comes out next week for about 500.

Was the print head for the desktop unit or the big machines?

Now that is interesting. Can't wait to see it!

For all , it simply clamps onto the side of the spindle or router. It would probably worke on any cnc machine no matter what brand it is.

David - does it travel up and down in Z - as it moves in X and Y? What I was thinking - was cutting topographical 3d maps in wood and then taking the extracted image from the web and then going back and PRINTING the image - kind of like an overlay on to the topographical 3d portion. This would eliminate me having to try and hand paint the image.
