Description
If anyone is interested this device [www.dwbowen.com] uses ABS 3.5" plastic discs connected to 4 inch nylon webbing. The conveyor is advanced by a 1 rpm AC gearhead motor. The webbing is stretched using a tensioning device and it seems to stay put during printing... at least enough for my purposes. The total length of the conveyor for this device is roughly 20'. I have also successfully used a 40' version.
Each time the device does a new print it centers itself. Before it begins printing the onion plant it puts down a 2" x 2" raft of ABS. This helps the prints stick to the discs as they get taller. Hope this helps. -Bowen - http://dev.forums.reprap.org/read.php?171,36933 - , quoted by --Sebastien Bailard 08:02, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

This is a generic Example project! I, (Example_User) made it because it's cool and Interesting, because I made it with a RepRap, because it is an innovative new RepRap, or because it is elegant or effective. Share and Enjoy! (This page was made using the wiki page Example as a model.)
More Descriptive Text
Unlike Other Example project, this is different and better. But we borrowed many elements. Also, we like creating New Example projects.

Well, there's New Example. And Another Example.

Sub Assemblies and Related
Example/SubAssembly and Related Example. (As a gentle style recommendation, it's good to try to keep all your parts and files on the RepRap wiki rather than scattered around so that Library Staff and Volunteers don't have to write scripts and so on to get stuff back onto the wiki.)
