So we started the build on friday. We have a very impressive frame already. It was great fun to actually start the build.<br><br>Next task will be to square of the threaded rods. Should take a half a day. With luck we can also start work on the z axis, maybe.<br>
<br>The next meeting will be on the <a href="http://www.electronclub.org/webcalendar/month.php?year=2012&month=02">http://www.electronclub.org/webcalendar/month.php?year=2012&month=02</a>.<br><br>As always everyone is welcome. We also love arduinos, so if you just want to disuses/ play with them that is cool too.<br>
<br>Any thanks for everyone who managed to attend the rather impromptu meeting and look forward to next time.<br><br>There is a some picture here.<br><br><a href="http://goshg.org.uk/index.php/news/6-friday-the-13-of-jan-meet-up">http://goshg.org.uk/index.php/news/6-friday-the-13-of-jan-meet-up</a><br>
