In the process of building a wasp super stinger. still a few adjustments need to be made for the motor mounts and the supports either side . Next update will be the finished product pasting a shell, tell us what you think so far.

Just a heads up last person to copy the wasp (and also use their software) got a nasty letter from the owners lawyers. You might want to keep what you are making quite. Looking good though

woops so it doesnt help it when you email them asking to buy there software. But yeah what would be wrong if you were only using it for your own use and not selling it

Ive got no idea fireworks is my forte,law is not but I guess it would be like illegally downloading someone's music.

Whitepyro the reason there is something wrong with making a clone is that the developers of the wasp dedicated hundreds of hours to the project to make their product and are selling it at quite a reasonable price. If you were to dedicate that much time you wouldnt want someone just cloning what you had done. Wait for a response from them if its positive than your in luck if its negative " you took it to the scrap metal dealer"

Are you going to write your own software to operate the machine?
Also I don't see any stepper motors or controller they aren't very cheap.

Notice that it says in the "process" of making one, meaning i'm not yet finished ,Yes i have the motors now but i think $55 a motor is very cheap. And no i am going to make a G code and control it via mach3 software
