So the transformer lives, and nothing exploded/shorted etc! I did a quick reading across the output and its 70V, which is higher than the 65V its rated at. Is that normal with no load applied? The drivers are up to 70VAC and don't wan't to fry them..

Made some progress over the long weekend - if only I had a CNC machine this would be so much easier:)

Reading some of the new threads I've been re-thinking and slightly concerned that the accuracy I'm building too could result in inaccurate final results.
As this is all "by hand" and printing 1:1 scaling, drill holes are perhaps up to 1mm out, I'm using a digital caliper and angle measuring device during the build, but check as much as possible
There is some slight adjustment by the hole sizing on everything - how much can the software make up for sub mm "corrections"
Maybe overthinking it - but also don't want to end up with something not accurate after all the effort.
As I haven't owned a CNC machine before I don't know what accuracy I'd like, but for example if I could produce something like the Aztec calendar I'd be happy..
