Well there's a surprise. The μRepRap just got a mention on Hackaday https://hackaday.com/2024/03/10/%ce%bcreprap-taking-reprap-down-to-micrometer-level-manufacturing/ - if you're not familiar with it, it's an awesome site for hackers and makers so do visit. If you're from there and visiting here, please join in the fun.
The house is without reliable power at the moment though, and the place is pulled apart for rewiring putting the brakes on dev work. 9kW of solar panels going in, so not complaining.
Still having problems getting Marlin to drive the Delta configuration at all. Might revert back to driving XYZ and get on with stiffening up the probe's arm. For initial testing I'll just be using a hypodermic point until I have a reliable Delta driver that won't try to drive one of my sub-micron probe tips through the glass slide!
