    Scale The Naked Truth of Covering a Plane

    How did you prep the surface of the wood before covering? Did you touch the wood with your hands after final sanding? Most of the problems I see with covering come from improper handling of the wood prior to putting covering on. I was taught BY THE BEST (look for teh Toledo winner with your...

    3D printer from Dremel

    I had not and looked it up, that's a different kind of printer and I know we have a prototype that looks like that in some ways. I think they are designed to do larger prints in a different way. I would ask what bearings they use, what kind of rails and such. The integrity of the parts matter.

    3D printer from Dremel

    With 3D printers I can tell you this, unlike say a 7 ch radio, you outgrow the cheap ones quickly. Once you make something a few times that is OK, you will start to get "into it" and that's when you hit the limitations of the cheaper printers. Dremel and other places know 90% of people will buy...

    I am getting one, so I'll fill you in, But the "TAG" unit is GPS so the head unit follows it using GPS. SO the head knows where and how far away the TAG is. The zoom only works with cameras that has LANC input. The website has a list of cameras supported.. so I'm sure it knows that specific...
