    You have to remember all three of my struts are in use.
    The right one (y?) has my filament and webcam holders
    Left has extruder and my psu is mounted on the back of the z ? one.

    So the cable bundle is just pushed into the left side top horizontal strut - I like your idea, needs refinement and possibly the addition of bolt free clipping and flexible filament :-)
    Well why stop now lol

    And how do you change filament on the balloon ?
    Not something I've ever done.

    And when you sand the shine off the back and smooth the edges - I'd defy almost anyone to know it wasn't made from wood :-)
    Which means I can sell them for more money :-)
    Helps that i live in the heart of the new english national forest for the blurb: ' Custom Made and Hand Finished in the Heart of the National Forest with Wood.'
    And not a word of that is a lie :-)
    Print up a little Curious Aardvark Designs, leaflet find some little cheap boxes and I reckon these could go for up to £10 a pop.

    Now where the hell did that copper filament go ?
    'cos: 'made in the heart of the national forest with real copper' - also sounds pretty expensive ;-)

    Damn ! you're right about the .16 layer height. Only take a few minutes longer and wow - huge improvement over 0.2.
    That one looks even more like wood than the others !
    Get sequential printing working and we're in production !

    I owe you a beer - look at this sucker:


    lol if you didn't know you would swear that was carved from actual wood. Get some light varnish and you'd never tell the difference.
    Might even see what it looks like with a dab of walnut oil.

    Now logically if .16 is better than 0.1 or at least as good, then 0.32, should be better than 0.3 !
    Let's try that.
