Bolt's Z-6 Rotary Cannon build

[Bolt_2112]

Oh man that's rough, not to mention while reading I had a mini panic attack thinking I'd given the wrong dimensions! But I know that if anybody can fix it's you Luke
Keep up the awesome work!

(By the way, I'm loving the blaster display on the wall, might have to make some more room there soon )

Yeh the dimensions were right, just the pipe size was wrong. I don't think this big guy can go on the wall, it's gonna be heavy!

The innovation in this is fantastic. And yeah, I learnt all about pipe sizing when I was researching my DC-15 build. It's a pain.

Thanks Sac! It certainly is a pain. Back to the drawing board!

Kicking along real nice, loving the updates

Thanks Terror!

Looking good Bolt. Be good to see it when it's finished.

I will be glad when it is finished too! No stealing though... this ones mine :P



Today's update! Not a whole heap to report, bought the new (correct size) pipe and cut out some new discs. Also went online at jaycar and bought a few electronic goodies for the build. I am going to remove the original switch for the drill as it is way too big to fit in the handle, so I had to have a way to regulate the speed (as I am removing the variable speed element that is the switch). So I am getting a little dimmer/motor speed controller off jaycar (pretty much a fancy potentiometer). Should be able to set a rotation speed and keep it. I drew up a crude wiring diagram to remind me how I am going to wire it up.



And that's it for today
