Subject: Working itty bitty dual extruder to Wilson mount
X-Git-Url: http://git.hcoop.net/clinton/3d-models.git/commitdiff_plain/62f36d7fac8cbca6552f2f17397e53e29f948cf4

Working itty bitty dual extruder to Wilson mount

Hole spacing tweaked to finally be dead on

Holes still need some adjustement (a hair too snug), and square hole
placement is just mathemagically broken (should be centered on origin to
make it better). There are a couple of minor cosmetic issues as
well (not quite perfectly lined up with the outside of the Wilson
x-carriage) but they do not affect functionality.
