Thank you both for that. The idea i had was to make the equivalent of a casting. two castings would form the 2 sides of the device. shafts would pass between the sides and the shafts would mount various devices forming a simple weaving machine. The only surfaces needed to be precision smooth would be the shaft mounting points. Cams on the outside of the vertical sides would lift the warp and weft whilst the shuttle flies between the threads. I think i like the S3d route but it is a little pricey. Thanks for the quick replies and think you both answered my question. Yippee home soon and de-boxing.

Hello everyone (This is my first post and i did a search before posting this question) I am interested in the option to change the resolution of a print job half way through the job. I have not unpacked my printer yet, we are camping and it will have to wait until i get home for that. The idea is to rough print the base and walls of a side piece, and then fine print the hole, then rough print until i hit the next hole and fine print again, carry on etc until the job is finished. I seems daft to me to print everything in fine when only the mating faces and bearing holes need to be accurate and smooth. Have i missed something or is is this just not there? Andy
