[ELECTRON] Update on reprap

[Kieran Wyse]

Thinner the better, but not so thin it is not rigid ... I don't know how
thin ply could be and still be riggid. It is to create the bed for the
prints so needs to be rigid. The bed moves so the heavier it is the harder
to move. If the 3mm ply is rigid that sounds ideal.


Hope this helps
