oops sorry folks, a bit bleary eyed of me by the looks.
Yeah thats a work pic. Cooling gas system for the Laser cutter machine I was working on.
Had an issue with gas pressure causing an error, turned out to be a stuck solenoid valve .
Apparently the new type of you-beaut upgraded solenoid is not as reliable as the version they replaced !!

Herman, I don't know if that third picture was intended as I didn't see a mention of it in your narrative. BUT! I'm intrigued, I see pneumatics, liquid cooling, solenoids, rheostats and a big ole honking motor. What the heck is that?
Glad you asked. I thought it was a new type of BB unit he was installing.

Ha!
Try to fit that in a PZIII!
It was wicked cool so I had to ask.

Wait, Herman... I thought that was the smoke system for the super secret 1:6 scale Jawa Sandcrawler we were developing for our dogs?

"Had an issue with gas pressure causing an error." The error was the wrong photo, correct? The gas pressure can probably be reduced with

Well now Hr Proff, I can bust out a good cloud of girl repellent at times, but these lasers run some wild pressures and cut thru all material up to 40mm with pinpoint accuracy.
I’m a long way from the Kansas world of drilling for gas now TinMan !!
This Dorothy is relearning a whole new universe of f-wittery & costly failures.

A quick vid of a similar machine. Not one of ours, but we have 2 of these as well as other versions

I would have thought these would have been better?

Im calling the dazzler almost done. Still to add a cover plate for it.
Compromising extreme accuracy for a degree of RC practicality and robustness, I wound solder wire around the body using gel super glue all the way.
While not a perfect replica of the small welds around the shell in pictures, its going to be close enough and should withstand any handling or in this case, postage brutality.
I used brass channel to carry the shell, again using gel super glue to keep it in place, and brass square & channel to represent the vibration dampers on the mount.
The dazzler turned out great, and being mostly metal and Heng Long plastic it should be near bulletproof.
You're gonna have to borrow one from work and send it down here for... research. So I can graduate from 3D printing and start making tanks out of metal.

Hmm, looking for commitment ?.........guess Ive committed to the rubber guards then .
Plan to reuse the joiner plates to go over the sections where they separate.
If this goes wrong, I have a spare tank to recover the hull from so Mr Mithras doesn’t pay the price for misguided folly !!
