RepRap: Blog

I can now sit at the desk again for a bit, and slide things around the bench. Tremor from blocker pills is fading, and I can manipulate tiny things. So I've shuffled the μRepRap under the binocular microscope:

This gives me an enormously better view. Erm, 3 wee issues:

1.    While binocular vision is very nice, I can't share it on the blog.

2.    When looking into the binocular microscope, I can't operate the CNC jog controls.

3.    I can't bend over to look through the eyepieces for very long right now.

4.    It does rather get in the way, doesn't it? 

I'm collecting ideas for when I'm declared fit again:

Cheat like hell to get a useful micron-sized tool. 

Etch a pattern into some Sharpie or other masking material, then drop resin on top, then expose the resin through the etched Sharpie mask.

Try the old "write on a grain of rice" trick.

Nail some CNC joystick control software that allows constant acceleration with an analogue stick.
