What do you do when you get your 3D printer back online again? Use it to play music of course!
(and spend hours tweaking until a cube actually comes out as a cube...). A MIDI-gcode converter is responsible for converting MIDI notes into frequencies which are mapped to motor PWM signals. Kinda like the more impressive floppy drive organ

Overall I was surprised at how well it kept over time - I had some concerns over the wood warping. However, there were the typical calibration and bed leveling issues that make me wish I had invested in something with a metal chassis made of aluminum extrusions... Oh well, hope the Rhino 3d printer works out!
