The spacing on that block the same as the Kracken? Kracken + 2 cyclops = biclops?

I’ve put a couple of higher resolution photographs of the frog in this album: https://plus.google.com/u/1/photos/+JoshuaRowley42/albums/6086812206480038113

Also, here’s a time-lapse of the same print. It even shows a couple of failed attempts I had at the start… :stuck_out_tongue:

Fantastic work yet again !
Looking forward to take them for a spin !
I kinda wonder, after reading the article , though : would mixing not be already possible ( even if imperfectly) in the Cyclops , by extruding the two filaments at the same time ? Or is there some catch ?

Looking good. Are the engineering drawings going to be available?

Yes, as always! Will be uploading them next week… I’ll message you when they are up.

Notice that you weren’t hacking our website this time Mark! :stuck_out_tongue:

So dramatic!

@Joshua_Rowley Cool. Thanks. (Actually I just wasn’t imaginative enough with my guesses this time. :slight_smile: )

Awesome! The cyclops is really interesting.

What does Volcano compatibility mean?

Is the Kraken going to get the same levelling method?

11

@Joshua_Rowley hacking your site ? huh ? Not sure I follow ?

@Mark_Moissette_ckaos That comment was directed at me. (Just before the v6 came out I was rather cheeky and ordered one by doing a search and replace on the v5 url.)

@Mark_Hindess woops, sorry about the confusion !
(and neat trick too :slight_smile:

@Bracken_Dawson - the sliding heat breaks are already present in Kraken…
