<div><FONT FACE=3D"Arial" SIZE=3D2>Hi Jim - I could probably generate=
a model of the arm in DXF and STL with little problem. =
Keep in mind that the arm needs to be as hollow as possible=
(thin wall) to get the TQS cablage through it. But......=
more importantly for the group, what about knobs!?! I can=
generate STL's for them too. I don't have the time=
resource to get deep in this, not to mention sufficient stress=
overhead, but I'm getting into 3D CGI in a big way, and could=
use the practice doing the models. It does happen that=
these can be exported into stereolithography and AutoCAD files=
suitable for rapid prototyping. Am I on the right=
track??</FONT><br></div>
