 ...and then I moved on to  other projects. But Bill has been slowly plugging away at his mechanical version, and I'm back to thinking about this machine and trying to take it further:
-Better holddowns and larger parts. Mark (at Southern Steel Fabrication) is machining me some plates that I think will hold down the pieces I'm cutting more securely, and also some larger, rectangular clamps.

-Linear patterns. This should be "just a software" project.
+Linear patterns. This should be "just a software" project. This is Faberge work again.
-Patterns with "hard turns." This is something that initially intrigued me about building this machine. In theory it should be able to turn at sharp angles rather than curves, which would open up patterns that are probably not possible using the traditional approach. But I think doing this will necessitate being able to rotate the cutting tip which may be a tougher problem.

-Cutting on curved surfaces. Yeah, dream on Bob!

This close up shows that even with a cutter there is a lot of smearing going on which I'd like to fix.
-Camwheels for prototyping designs on Bill's mechanical system might be 3D printed fairly easily.
