Gold and Joysticks
The gold has turned up. Small flakes rather than sheet, but we'll see what tests can be done. Also in the package was vark, or edible silver foil. The μRepRap is now in bits in the Everything Open suitcase, so testing will have to wait. Back in 10 days, got a house-sitter so the pets have good company.
Will post snaps of Maus on holiday.
Meanwhile Siddharth has published his joystick control code for μRepRap, so that'll be something else to play with. Should be more accurate than trembly hands, with less opportunity to wreck things when waving stuff around. I've checked and I can just about get Maus under the binocular microscope, giving a view in 3D.
