attached the bucket for good. I became lazy and just adapted it to the mount I already had, I didn't want to hack the bucket too much. Right now it still fits the R944.
Its a bit of a qd. Only the front pin is removed and the bucket slides out. Good enough.
The arm is cut out of a solid piece of delrin based plastic with stainless bushings pressed in the holes where shafts connect. So that's now done as well.
I don't think I ever showed the bucket I made. It is basically the same volume as the wide premacon. Just different shape (narrower and deeper). This is what the mount was designed around and I didn't want to change it. It is screwed and alum weld sealed out of around 20 pieces. I still like it and might use it. Yep I've learned a lot and tried a lot of things with this build.
