    Nice macro videos!

    WHY is the speed in one direction (X?) twice the speed of the other direction?

    I would love to look at your Skeinforge settings.

    Funny.. I had no idea this was posted… nobody let me know. I could have at least commented. I just found this because someone googled my name and told me about it. Nice :/

    The only problem I am having with this setup is bridging and a bit of splodge.

    I am currently using a better .13 setting that is at 40mm/sec and the prints look much nicer. But for rapids, this stuff was working just fine.. it just took too much heat, and I randomly tripped the thermal control.

    Robert.. to be totally honest, I have no idea other than that short DOF from the macro’s focal plane may just make it seem that way.
