Maybe a Carvey would come in handy?

We've been redesigning the printer for nearly a month now getting the accuracy decent, its really good at holes and may not need reaming when printed. I'm too busy today and tomorrow, I'll do my best to get a cad drawing of what I've got in mind up shortly. With any luck I'll be back from college about 23.00 so it may get done tonight, wouldn't hold breath though..
Have you seen this stuff elma? http://www.biomebioplastics.com/biome-b ... -printing/
