D3D: Derivative design using PVC or metal pipes and plastic xyz corners.
Preferably we want to use plastic corners (geometry can be complex for these) and either PVC pipe or metal conduit.
Links for set up guides for running OSE_OS on a virtual machine on Windows (using Virtual Box) added to the [[HowTo_Document_for_Windows_Users]] based on experience gained while setting up for this task.
