    Concept for actuator arm. (not final)

    [​IMG]

    Trianguler pieces are the mounting base for the Actuator body. The other pieces are from earlier design for actuator "yoke" that we've scraped for now. We should have the machined rods for the cover in this afternoon, for assembly of the 30x ribs that make the cover.

    machined rods were finished yesterday...

    the rods will join the 30x ribs that make the top cover

    Mad power lol. :D

    This is looking amazing, will be quite a beauty when altogether. :jawdrop::rock:

    I definitely prefer raw sketchup models to really nicely rendered models, makes the actual project look far nicer. :)
