Hi, I'm always on the lookout for anything I can use for my growing fleet of 3D printers. I've been toying with them awhile and have a couple built with raspberry pi / arduino kits. If anyone has liquid abs in various durometers and colors or any other motors or harnesses etc that you think would be good for 3D printer projects please let me know.

Hey John,
Out of curiosity, in your Raspberry Pi / Arduino projects, what is your setup for controlling your steppers? Most of the designs I have seen use custom extended arduino PCBs with drop-in stepper-drivers, and I have found these PCBs to be CONSIDERABLY more finicky than more 'standard' arduino designs. If you have resources for utilizing an out of the box Raspberry pi or any of the common regular arduinos I would be very grateful for a push in the right direction.
Thanks!

Hey all, if you're looking for downloadable CAD designs for your printers, I saw this article this morning and thought of this thread. Makes me want to consider making a printer or buying one.

And I just saw this today, which would be super cool if it comes to reality:

Hey John, I saw this today and thought you might enjoy! Sorry I can't be more helpful, but at least you'll get a laugh!
