Let me know if anyone has tried this before. Thanks Jimmy |
I was here looking for an idea for my new machine and i have to say out of all the ones i have heard/read this one sounds good to me, even with 3d since this size would fit over the pc being worked on or give as the Z sets down, would work for my 3d apps anyway
. Also with the width you would not have to worry about pick-up even with vcarving etc plus they give so when you drill holes the hose gives and stays against the surface. (Clear hose would be nice) I would think with plexi glass, maybe could add memory foam around the rim of the hose.
I will be working with this idea and post images.
BTW how do I get images directly onto my posts do i need to upload them to my profile first? either way I can atleast pull them from my server with a hyperlink so they can be viewed.
