I think the point is that there should be a wiki page started to collect all the info needed to easily bolt a plastic extruder to a 3-axis CNC machine do 3d printing. I've played with this a bit a few months ago, and hope to get back to it this summer. I'd be happy to contribute content to the wiki page once I have something going. At least collecting links to the several documented builds using linuxcnc would be helpful.
