Adam, if you read this – the latest RepG is AMAZING. Getting to preview an STL, convert to GCode, and then to an S3G file all from the comfort of the friendly RepG UI is fantastic!
It’s not that I’m scared of the Skeinforge UI or anything.
It’s just that it stalks me while I sleep, steals my happy innocent dreams, and replaces them with a theater of shadow puppet parade of horrors.
I rather enjoy building the easy-to-use user interfaces for another website of mine. I’m always tweaking it and trying to make it better. Small change, test, ask for input, LRR.1
My last post gave me a great idea. A large physical console with actual knobs, switches, and dials that all operate Skeinforge. If I had one of these, I would want it to look like the center console of a TARDIS. Some of the best Doctor Who moments are when he’s zipping around the console, tapping, flipping, twisting, turning and generally being wacky.
Imagine being able to do that sort of thing and then have a plastic object (of a seemingly correspondingly random quality) pop out of the center?
