To be honest Geoffrey I like the change from doing boring run if the mill Z axis and gantry parts etc i'm always doing. Small parts I find rewarding and challenging because they are hard to hold with very little room for error. Worst bit is tool changes can take longer than the Op's it's here where a ATC would be nice. . .Lol

Just got the parts last night (two identical), but unfortunatley, my design skills have let me down and the part needs a little adjusting... Time to break out the dremel! :p
Once i fix the part and test it, ill adjust the design and re post it in case anyone else wants to use it to make their own.
Big thanks to Jazz for forseeing my stupidity and sending a spare :pLast edited by TheGrover; 04-12-2014 at 10:35 AM.
