I wonder if you can get ground and polished glass rod in 25 & 30mm diameter, would have to forget the spiral on 30mm glass, unless an angle grinder disk could put the groove in :scratch:
(no I am not being serious, but...)

Actually you can ! I think Dow Corning or St Gobain do them. They are used in the chemical/scientific and communications industry, though ground ceramic tube could be cheaper.

Now the Chaos gets really deep...
Converting these parts into printable models and incorporating more suitable bearing and clamping surfaces. I will take a cue from the pointer casting with the taper hole, thats a good way to make locking parts with lots of contact area. I'm thinking of going that route for all the split joints on these parts. Another niggle for me, is a lack of knowledge in the use of the Quorn. I'm not sure where parts are likely to collide if I add more material and the CAD model I am working from already has surfaces colliding, so I know the model is wrong in places. LOTS to redraw
I would really welcome links showing the Quorn in use and as many of the accessories as possible.

Surely glass is easier to print than metal.... :poke:
