Re: "Open Source" Drive Systems

I'm not sure how to feel about this...

sure, it would help a lot of people out, but there is really no way to prevent people from making it exactly to print and not making any changes or improvements.

On the other hand, it could cause a lot of inspiration. Over the years, I have asked for the CAD files to various mechanisms and parts from various teams to look at; originally my plan was to copy them 1:1, but I always ended up starting from scratch and coming up with my own design. In the begging I was lost, but by the end I knew my part completely.

There is potential here, but it seems like it would be too much work to implement some sort of control over distribution.
