[simpits-tech] UK Aluminium Machining

[Radvan, James]

I'm not sure about the blast pad - it needs to be a good conductor of heat
to a) transfer heat to/from the underlying peltier heater/cooler and b) act
as a heatsink so the pelt doesn't overheat.  A rocket blast pad is probably
meant to be a poor conductor, which probably rules it out.

I should note that I didn't design the 3d model in the picture (a very
talented chap at viperpit did) but I do intend to build one!

Cheers James
