[Discussion] I, Robot-ot-ot-ot..

Yes, a build fest will be coming, though as Cheng pointed out, there is a waiting list of people wanting to use it asap.

Blender may not be a great CAD program, yet I like it over CAD programs like solid works and auto CAD. Yes I have used both, at the basic level.
I have had nothing but problems with aoi, so I don't want anyone to get any crazy ideas.
OpenSCAD, from what I have read, works in the same way as POV-ray, which I'm no fan of either, though your welcome to show others, I'll stick to blender.
It's my weapon of choice, it might not be for everyone.

Ps I've had to use blender's remove doubles feature just so that I can keep track of errors, which there have been, from designs on the net, or need to modify in a way that a mesh modelled excels in.

I find http://artofillusion.org with the STL plugin to be superior. Failing that, I can recommend OpenSCAD. It is parametric, so you basically type in a script describing the shapes and watch the results in near real time. You can still use the mouse to zoom around though. Um, I suppose we ought to start considering a 3D Printer Install/Build-Fest ? Vik :v)_____________________________________________
