It can be bullish or bearish. (2) The "medium swing", secondary reaction or intermediate reaction may last from ten days to three months and generally retraces from 33% to 66% of the primary price change since the previous medium swing or start of the main movement. (3) The "short swing" or minor movement varies with opinion from hours to a month or more. The three movements may be simultaneous, for instance, a daily minor movement in a bearish secondary reaction in a bullish primary movement. 2.

Home - GitHub FabLab Crossplatform Framework for NUI RepRap RepRap est la première machine autoréplicable de production d'usage général fabriqué par l'homme. RepRap se présente sous la forme d'une imprimante 3D, pilotée par un logiciel libre, capable d'imprimer des objets en plastique. Puisque la RepRap est composée de plusieurs pièces de plastique et que la RepRap a la capacité d'imprimer ces pièces, la RepRap peut être considérée comme autoréplicable — tout le monde peut la construire avec du temps et le matériel nécessaire. Cela signifie également que — si vous possédez une RepRap — vous pouvez imprimer beaucoup d'objets utiles, voire même imprimer une autre RepRap pour un ami... Le concept RepRap relève de la production de machines autoreplicables, ainsi que de les rendre librement accessibles au bénéfice de tous. RepRap.org est un projet collectif, vous êtes donc cordialement invités à modifier presque toutes les pages de ce site, ou mieux, créer de nouvelles pages personnalisées. RepRap a été la première imprimante 3D à faible coût.
