Default Re: 1/16 Scale FrankenDiff

No problem.

A gentleman on HMEM suggested that if I lowered the cross-slide read-head I would free up that back corner of the cross-slide for normal use. I already had everything printed by that time and didn't feel like re-designing it - AGAIN. If I ever do this again, I'll probably hang both read-heads at the level of the carriage scale with both slides parallel. Then I'll use the Gold-N-Rod trick to actuate the cross-slide scale. I just had a thought, is the "Make Flexible" check box in Alibre to simulate a connection like a flexible pushrod?
