Thanks,

The hybrid project is not printed in 3D but made of wood !
It has been finished 2 years ago. Didn't have a 3D printer at this time .

I will take the time to create a dedicated topic for this original project to show the different steps in pictures.

here are some videos of this thing ;-)

Nice!  I really dig that hybrid machine in particular.

It's nice to see a new and innovative machine posted here that is both really cool and totally unlike what has been done here before.  Bravo!
