  3. The plastics flying now ! Fun taking spare parts and repurposing them into something completely different
  4. Thats gonna be a monster! Love the plan drawing , I was helped by Gary Wallace years ago w a scaled down drawing of the fdm mixer I was building . Sure made it easier making parts fit and look right Ps..the phrase was also coined by Walt Disney when designing Walt Disney world bit of useless history
