Besides my 3D printing endeavors, I am involved with trying to get a

a good LinuxCNC retrofit candidate popped up on the local craigslist:

First off - Thank you Stuart you are more than generous. Both dad and I
had a wonderful time at the fest. I hope we can keep this up more
often. 3 years was way too long.
Now we had some success at the fest.

Certain compounds are but not all. You want a very porous one. You will
get heat transfer but not a lot and it depends on how long you make the
rod. Very hard compound will conduct a lot of heat.

I agree with the thin-walled tube approach.
Use stainless steel. Stainless conducts 1/3 as much
heat as regular steel, and 1/10 as much as aluminum.

Charles,
What you are asking about actually has broader use than the
"drip feed" that first comes to mind. If one is using LinuxCNC
as a motion controller in a larger automation system, it could be
very useful to make spontaneous commands for motion, perhaps
generated by a vision system or other
My first reaction is how could this be necessary?
Are they not wanting/able to capture a file to feed to the control?
I am having trouble imagining a computer so small or a program so large as

This is usually called "drip feed" in the cnc world. I don't know if
linuxcnc has ever been forced into this mode, but it seems doable.

Gentlemen,
First response - WOW - the only word to describe the week.
Over thirty people attended this week. When I posted the meeting time and
place I thought eight might show up and twelve would be a large number. I
was surprised! Many states were represented as were Canada, UK and Austria.
