Have to say, I'm very impressed with the quality of the 'printed' items....  :dremel:

I'm also more impressed at your ability in mastering this technology.... :bow: :bow: patience at learning a new skill such as this is not one of my strong points...  :(

Joules:
Thanks for that John, but when I first started it was hellishly frustrating getting through the early learning curve.  I see what guys here do in metal and realise I won't achieve what they can.  I am just happy to have found something that fits my skill set, and that my craft skills can compliment it.  I can design stuff I don't have the skill or tools to machine.

Joules:
Next step,  I have remodelled the other end supporting the bars, and moved its mounting position into the middle of the casting.  Nothing jumps out at me that may cause any issue here and I have recessed the fixing.  Rather than split the casting I have gone for an 8mm pin that will pull and wedge the bar in order to lock it.  Again, if anyone see's a fault in my logic please pipe up.



Let me also know if this style of representation is easier than the rendered images.  Once I finalise this part and get it printed we should be ready to assemble as per below.



The eventual plan is to re-print the castings in a suitable colour, but for now translucent works well as I can shine a light and see where parts are.

Looking good Jules  :thumbup:

Prof Chaddock would have been highly amused, I don't think he was shy of using new materials and techniques.
