Greetings, I guess the ramp is a combination of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brachistochrone_curve (lower part) and a aperiodic asymptotic approximation (upper part). The spring force replaces the gravity. I'm curious about the gcode. :) m. On 2014-10-13 14:56, john mcintyre wrote: > Good day,

Dont overthink it;) 1) Mount it flat and cut four slots. It appears thats what they did. To make them undercut as your last email states, incline on a rotary table slightly (or tilt the head.) 2) Mount on an A-axis and machine the ramps from the side. You will have a very small step at the botto
