There may be a place or 3 where I consider
the docs a bit opaque, but that is as much as I feel qualified to say,

I'll be 88 in October, the place is paid off, has been for 23 years so

You need someone with a better knowledge of the language than I have.
This may come some 75 years late, but you have just proven yourself to
be perfectly capable to write long, well-structured texts. And I likely
speak in the name of everyone on this list (and the future members of
this list) when I say, please contribute to the documentation wherever
and whenever you see fit.
I happily help out with any technical issues, be it per eMail or via
synchronized via some shared screen.
Best,
Steffen
Thank you for the flowers Steffen, but I don't have my eye on anything
specific ATM.
I am busy trying to revive a failed 3d printer with improved parts, and
getting ready to
install a couple vise screws I made, in my own workbench, using linuxcnc
to carve the
screws, I wrote the gcode.
With an eye toward selling a few of them. That in .jpg's can be seen
along with some
.png's from OpenSCAD of the plastic parts to make the rest of the
assembly on my
web page in the sig.
The screw is hard maple, with a 2 start buttress thread, the rest from
PETG or for
some pieces carbon fiber reinforced PETG. Given reasonable use, they
should be still
working 100 years after I'm gone. The blue things on the handles are
shock absorbing
bumpers made out of printed TPU, intended to keep the knobs from being
destroyed when the
handle slides to the bottom when the user lets go of the handle. The
rings on the hub are
reinforcements to keep the handle from splitting the hub. The handle is
intended to be
breakable, protecting the rest of it from the gorilla's out there.
That's oak dowel. Cheap,
expendable.
Take care and stay well, Steffen.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
