Er, Marv, actually, that mail was directed at Jim K., whom may have =
some sort of "in" with a rapid prototyper. And this whole thing is =
aimed at automated 3D rendering of the knobs. I don't want to hand =
build 15-20 different knobs either. If my drawings (TBD, BTW) could be =
used for RP generation of knob masters, from there, castings could be =
made, and ultimately knob sets. I'm trying to knock down that $900 to =
$1200 cost of the knob masters, and if Jim has a good resource, let's =
add that to the pool. If the RP costs too much, though, obviously this =
is for naught. But Jim suggested RP for the arm, and while that may or =
may not fly, RP for the knobs would be super handy. That is, unless our =
pal Jurgen at Aimsworth comes up with a better solution, and I'm =
thinking that may be a very, very good answer to the whole situation. =
Jurgen is taking a real bent towards authenticity these days, and I'm =
pretty optimistic he will ultimately come through.
