-Delta 3d Printer
-Mission:  To create a delta based 3d printer for donation to LMN
-I Joe Zimmerman proposed to donate 50% of the cost of time and materials in creating a delta 3d printer such as the rostock
-http://reprap.org/wiki/Rostock
-Some basic discussion has been started here:
-https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/lansing-makers-network/y3_D3-leakI
-  - Determine which style printer we will attempt to build.
-  - Decide on additional Electronics
-  - Other electronics needed
-     * Stepper motors
-     * extruder heater(s)
-     * power supply(s)
-     * heated bed
-/18/2013.  Rumba and endstops ordered from reprapdiscount.
-We need to source the stepper motors and additional electronics.  Ask Mike about the cost of the steppers from sparkfun.com
-/27/2013.  Rumba, endstops, wiring kit, arrived.
-There are 4 matching Nema 17 motors on the shapoko in the basement.  (3 on the machine and 1 spare)  I think these will work and we can take them and replace the motors on the shapoko with Nema 23's
-Brent Morse also has offered up some stepper motors.  I also have a bunch of motors pulled from machines.  3 motors should be identical, it would be nice to have a total of 6 motors on hand.
-I saw a video of a rostock with quick change heads, this one in particular was making a pancake.
-http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:156715 (watch the attached video)
-I think I'd like to know more about the pros and cons of quick change heads.  I'd love to have 2 or 3 color extrusion, this might be a good way to do that without adding inertia problems to the head itself.
-/2/2013 The rumba kit is in, located near the laser cutter by the delta printer board
