Sli3DR has excellent print results

You can find out more about this mechanism on RichRap's blog.

Update: one of the commentators claims it that the mechanism is similar to the movement of Stratasys Fortus machines. Since I'm not familiar with them I can not confirm it ... hopefully this mechanism will be identified and it's origins clarified ...
