    So did the sphere work ? I'd be amazed if it did.

    I got the fan working and it was going well when the computer died. Need new psu - and I was busy thereafter with other things.
    I'll change psu's and try again later :-)

    But I did discover one drawback to the ducting adaptor. Bloody thing hits the bulldog clips. So now I'll have to figure out a system to hold the aluminium plate in place that's super low profile.

    The little bit of sphere I printed yestreday before the power went - was a huge improvement. So it's definitely working :-)

    Far as the nylon goes - it was christmas present, so no idea where it came from.

    but 3dfilaprint do the nylon bridge at a reasonable price. And that's supposed to be a lot easier to use than the 618 I've got.

    Cheaper than any I've seen on ebay. And avoid the ebay stuff that just says 'nylon' without any other description. I'm not saying it's all garden strimmer line - but it's probably closer to that than to the taulman stuff :-)

    I forgot all about the sphere and printed the 'Helix challenge' to see if I could get some good 3-4cm bridges. ( http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4659 )

    Good to hear that the ducking adapter worked, sad to hear your PSU died though ;o
    Don't you have sunken screw holes in the Aluminum plate? that would solve the issue of the bulldog clips.

    I will print a full sphere (without supports/raft) tonight - I think it will be doable - and make some pictures together with the double helix outcome.
