Protection For Touch Probe Tips
When removing the previous probe, the one with the touch indicator on it, I realised I didn't have anywhere to put it! So, I've uploaded a newer version that has a tip cover that can be attached using a screw.
I'm going to have to construct some kind of enclosure for the μRepRap, as I'm having problems with sunlight prematurely curing the resin during a print. The tip on the probe in the picture above is in fact caked solid.
Progress too on the RepRapMicron mailing list software, "listomail", which now supports the redistribution of file attachments to the mailing list. I've yet to add autoreply detection, and the IMAP handling relies on tickling the IMAP timeout with NOOPs too much, but I think the list server script is now sufficiently reliable for regular use. So pipe up if you want to join the email list.
