Willi, You're doing a pretty good job of showing us how this thing goes together. Thanks. A concern with this system is whether it maintains it's flatness and vertical position through removal, extraction of the print, and re-installation assuming of course that care is taken that the lower surface ...

thanks much.

I was in a place where I couldn't play the sound while I watched it. It did look pretty neat, but if it isn't too hard to remember, what problems with the current extruder did he think his version solved?

Ed, Your comments remind me of the old tv ad's showing the lonely Maytag repairman. The ad's would have you believe that he was lonely because Maytags never broke.

Hi Karl,
3/4 inch seems pretty substantial. Is this a thermal consideration? I stabilized the 1/8 inch aluminum bed on my TinyBoy by gluing 1/8 inch cork drawer liner under the heater element - or at least I think I did - it does work.

What are you using Nylon for?
