Slicing

There are several 3D printers built from mainly lasercut parts. I've looked at the printrbot-LC and the Prusa-i3/Graber-i3.



Unfortunately, they all have parts too large for my small laser cutter. Without modifying the mechanism, I can only reliably cut about 30x20cm. All of the designs also need 6mm thickness material, which I haven't tried cutting.

So, I'm experimenting with building the large parts in two 3mm layers with each layer sliced at different points.



So far, so good...
