That Sabertooth's gonna blow. Seriously, get a Scorpion XXL or something, so much better.

Provided you take care of them them are fine. MMM has run one for years with no issues. That and I am not forking out any more money. I got it for basically nothing so if it does blow then no hard done.
So I have in my stock x2 gr01's a 100mm actuator and the sabretooth only used for testing! Make me an offer
You might have them yourself already of course
Got 2 of those actuators and enough TZ85A's if anything breaks.
Sweet
Managed to get a long way in one day now I have started to work on building my first non-spinner featherweight.

Had some odd things thrown at me that I didn't expect, but are all down to me not paying attention.
The 10mm HDPE base is 8mm thick, not a big issue. The side armour is 0.9 inches or 22.8mm, not the 20 like I ordered/assumed it would be.
The main issue is that what I thought was a block of HDPE for the side armour is actually Nylon 66. Given its not going against spinners it shouldn't shatter but its a bit of a pain and it has me slightly worried. It was originally intended as the base of a pneumatic machine that ended up being abandoned.
I can't decide if I should mill everything down to the 20mm its supposed to be or just leave the pieces as they are. Given the machine weighs just 9Kg in CAD, without the claw, I have loads to play with but at some point it needs a Srimec so pocketing out each piece will probably happen eventually anyway.
The claw will be fun to make. Initially just 2 sheets of 3mm mild steel welded into a tapered point, I hope that eventually I can make one out of a solid piece of steel so its stupidly strong and it will get me to practice my milling turn table skills.
Plastic is nearly always oversize when you buy it.
Yes, it does say that on the Direct Plastics website. I just remember it being 5% over sized not 15%, but hey, at least I have options.
Plastics can always retain water, try drying it out, might help a bit.
