So I finally decided to just go ahead and build this since the cost for materials is under $500 and I finally have a lighter production week ahead of me. I already have the linear slide system and some of the other components.
A few things I was hoping people could chime in on before I start:
- I have a Cameo 30 with a few squeegees of different lengths, including a 34 inch holder that will likely be what I use most of the time. I want to basically build a Cameo style holder under the joint in the arm. Anyone know where to buy two of the clamps like this: http://www.aero-inc.com/oldsite/sqclamp8080135.jpg? (http://www.aero-inc.com/oldsite/sqclamp8080135.jpg?) Is Aero the only source? Will any other styles, like the m&r style work? The squeegee holder is linked below. Anyone have a few spares laying around that might work? :D
- How crucial is the double joint above the squeegee holder? In this build he has the double joint: http://paul.cretin.net/onearm.html (http://paul.cretin.net/onearm.html) Same here: http://www.gigposters.com/forums/showthread.php?t=154328 (http://www.gigposters.com/forums/showthread.php?t=154328) but I am also seeing builds without one that seem to be "working" like: http://www.gigposters.com/forums/showthread.php?t=154294 (http://www.gigposters.com/forums/showthread.php?t=154294)
- Any other general thoughts?

Did someone say light work load?
That sounds like an excellent time to take pics of a Pre-reg unit. ;)

O that will be added as well this week, along with a few other projects around the shop. It almost feels weird only having about 20 hours of upcoming "must do" work the rest of the week, especially considering last week I was at the shop from 9 to 9 3 days and 9 to 4am another day...

Awesome!
We can relate.
