Resin Infusion flow control. Nice!

These little valves are great because there is no need to cut the resin intake line to insert a valve.

Less cuts in the line = less chance of leaks

Less leaks = happy Dallas

Plans coming together...

Not only our own plans - but after two hours of very careful alignment and taping I finally put THE plans together. Another shout out to Mr. Farrier for taking the time to put such an enormous amount of detail in the build manual and also the Full Sized Plans.

One thing I noticed is that after spending hours and hours studying the build manual, you tend to form a mental image and size association of the parts being described. All that goes away when you see the Full Sized Plans staring you in the face. Some of these parts are literally three times larger than I had expected!

All rolled up for storage.
It'll be a good day when they get unrolled again.

Thank You Package

UPS man pulls up to the house today and drops of another box from igus.

I didn't order anything else, so I had no idea what it could be.

Inside I find a "Thank You" letter, a screwdriver, ink pen, an assortment of sample pieces in a nice parts box and a bunch of product brochures.

What a classy way to say "Thanks for your business"!
I wish I had some big factory that could use their products on a routine basis. It's not often you find a company going out of their way like this.

Way to go igus!
