OK, tomorrow. As for your stressing flexibility and suggesting split hosepiping (no hosepipe) it did give me another idea - a strip of old cycle inner tube wrapped around and cable-tied on. These things I also have, well next time there's a puncture, anyway!<br />Thanks Renoir for spurring me on!Hazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15247030492098019765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291677262018398186.post-41256142718980661622009-05-16T12:29:00.000-07:002009-05-16T12:29:00.000-07:00Ideas for motor and rod couplings: you might be ab...Ideas for motor and rod couplings: you might be able to use polymorph (maplins) to form a plastic coupling. A couple of hose clips might help tighten the coupling on the rod or motor shaft.<br /><br />Come to that, you might be able to use oversized hosepipe of some kind (garden hose?) which has been split and overlapped, as long as there is a pipe clip on each end to tighten it up.<br /><br />The only reason for the hose is to allow a little flexibility in the coupling. You might find it works OK with a fixed shaft coupling ( a coupling nut, plus a grub screw).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10046079586632841601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-291677262018398186.post-7439677949931455602009-05-16T12:18:00.000-07:002009-05-16T12:18:00.000-07:00Fabulous!

Also, stop apologising! the photos are fine - more than good enough to work out what's going on<br />:-)<br />Ironically, I usually reprap on my dining table - a few feet from an a 8ft x 14ft giant trampoline in the garden! <br /><br />It looks like you're making excellent progress. Don't feel afraid to modify the design to what you've got. At first, I was trying to follow the instructions exactly, but as I got more confident, I realised that there are lot of changes or tweaks you can make. <br /><br />Thanks for the blog.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10046079586632841601noreply@blogger.com
