[simpits-tech] GA to PC headset adaptors

[Joseph Fagner]

Yeah, I figured it would be an arm and a leg.  Got a buddy who's working on
getting a gantry mill set up.  I'm thinking about doing the same as well,
but watching how his progress goes.

Getting him to cut my parts would be free, shipping them from Indiana to
Texas wouldn't be.  Hell, I just need to bite the bullet and build my own
and be done with it.  How long you been working on yours?  Got any pictures
yet/

Dunno, I'll have to talk to the production manager. DWG or DXF would work, 
then our programmer would turn it into whatever bizarre language the thing 
uses. Unfortunately the waterjet blew up again today, so we're sending it 
back and getting a new one.

I can say it wouldn't be cheap, though. On the rare occasions the thing was 
working it was booked solid and now we've had to outsource parts that were 
already sold. The boss ain't happy about it. But I might be able to do it 
myself in a few weeks. I've been building a few parts here and there for a 
fairly large (18x48) CNC mill. Z axis is almost done, just a bunch of 
lapping and the gibs to machine, then 2 more axis... axes... axii... 
whatever and wiring it up.

He who seeks will find, and he who knocks will be let in.
