Nice. I have been following the project since the beginning (I work with the Smoothieware project which was used primarily in the beginning).

Some of the things developed in the project I used to modify my commercial PnP to use the Siemens feeders (Bilsef's controller board). [1]

So a project that came from our project is being used to mod my machine to make more boards for the original project :) Circle of opensource.

If you have any posts related to your mods that you can share I would like to read them to see more about what people are doing.

I made the machine to help me assemble a bunch of boards for my electronics minded child, essentially a gridfinity based set of building blocks for electronics circuits. It works very well and he's totally happy with it. It also got him into building stuff with the Micro-Bit. My eyesight sucks and working with SMD parts is really tricky for me so I figure better to let one of my many Prusa's be the sacrificial lamb. Worked like a charm but it is not a build that I would recommend to others, there are just too many places where the 3D printer setup is fighting what would be good for pick-and-place. The best - and probably most reusable - bit to come out of it was a 3D printed nozzle that will pick up anything from 0402 to very large parts without a nozzle change.
