RepRap - improvements (no replies)

Hello.
I live in a small town, in Frederick MD, USA.


I would like to contribute some ideas to the RepRap development.

I have an idea that can allow a very cheap and precise drive mechanism for a 3D printer. It was tested but for different applications.

I have one idea that may allow 3D printers to assemble SMD electronics, almost without any modifications. I know that there is a lot of research going on in this area...


I also have an idea of how to improve print quality for some classes of work. This idea, too, was tested, but not in 3D printing. I saw another machine that works on a similar principle and I want to apply this to 3D printing and rapid prototyping.

I would like to learn more about the programming that goes into the control module as well as the circuit of the RepRap.

I would like to join a development team and learn as much as I can about the status quo of RepRap designs.

If the ideas I want to test out confirm experimentally, I don't want people to capitalize on them, but instead I want to bring them to the masses. This is why I want to work on THIS project.

If you are a 3D printing guru with machining capabilities, and you live in Baltimore - Washington DC area, help me please.
Thank you.
