Most Commented Thing - The Mendel inspired x and y carriage lowrider by twotimes

Twotimes, the MakerBot upgrade designer extraordinaire and design challenge winner and judge 1 , has the distinction of being the originator of the Thing with the most comments on Thingiverse.  His Mendel inspired X and Y carriage lowrider is an incredible engineering feat.  With one of these you get more build height, better build quality, and a quieter Cupcake CNC.  Although I’ve only had the honor of meeting twotimes once, at Botacon, I would venture to say the man is a perfectionist.  He wasn’t content to upload just one version of his lowrider.  As you can see from the comments on this Thing’s page, he uploaded a version, considered and incorporated the comments and suggestions of the commentators, and uploaded revision after revision.

    Yay, I win! I feel like I just got the most improved award in elementary school soccer…

    Makerblock, It was nice to meet you as well, It’s always good to see what the other robot dads are doing.

    That photo is of the generation 6 version, generation 7 is the current version (works with opto-endstops) but I’m going to need to revise it for the new mechanical endstops, the buttons on those work at 90º to how the design is laid out. Printing out 7 versions of something that has 18 parts is a pain.
