Thread: 4WD Front Hinge Flipper - Featherweight

    Ok - time for another update as I am trying to keep this monthly!

    Not too much progress to report on - unfortunately I didn't work on Strix at all for about 2 weeks at the start of the month due to personal circumstances. However I'm back on track now!

    The rear panels are almost finished - need to cut out a hole for the link and also get some bolts of the correct length for the top. Strix is fully soldered up, the electronics are all mounted.
    Also thinking I will need some sort of locking bar for the pits. Will probably just have a chunky steel plate with two bolts that go through the lid, with the plate hanging over the flipper.

    So Strix is like 90% complete. Hopefully the next update will be a working flipper!

    Anyway, enough blabber - here is some photos:

    Also I finally discovered the render button in my CAD software. Kinda makes me want to get better at CAD - here is Strix with full paint-job:

    Strix is looking good! Would be nice to see it get picked. There weren't that many flippers at the last Insomnia.

    yeah i know just a pain in the ass to get running again for september XD
