Source tree on Sourceforge
Fri, 03/27/2009 - 09:26 — AlbanetcSr
Yay. The source tree containing 3D models (Sketchup and DXF) of Contraptor components with templates in SVG and PDF formats has been moved to SVN on Sourceforge: http://contraptor.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/contraptor/trunk/
I'm still organizing it, so perhaps documentation pages will end up there as well, basically as print versions of how-to-make-it pages, for example: http://www.garagefab.cc/book/export/html/630
More to come..
