I was walking through the hallowed halls of very well know Search Machine Company earlier this year when out of the corner of my eye I saw IT! I had heard about them I have myself spent some time researching them but this was the first time I had ever seen a real REPRAP.

Damn you lucky (Company name omitted due to contract I had to sign to even be allowed in those hallowed halls) workers for having a company that let you do this kind of thing at work ( Do you have any open positions I would even learn PERL ). Obviously this was being built in the 20% time, but they had a whole corner of the office was set up with an electronics lab that would make grown men weep, in fact I nearly did. If it had not been for the fact I had to go for a meeting I might have hidden in the toilets and waited for everyone to go home so I could play with it, but from what I know they are all vampires and never leave the office.

That said I would be just as happy with a little desktop CNC sometimes as a developer you just want to create something tangible.

Will post links below when I have sorted out the mess of links that is my favorites. This is a good start:http://buildyourcnc.com/default.aspx I like this site coz its .NET ;-)
