1)I haven't checked the accuracy of the drop weight and I don't think I would because it is all mechanical and It shouldn't have any problem. 2)yes, the position of the tensioner is adjustable, after a few stringing the current position to me is the best.
Polymorph is way to ductile for such supports, isn't it? Anyway, great job, looks very professional. The only 'criticism' I could think, is the one my device has as well, the tensioner is pretty far from the frame. Some say that makes is less accurate (I'm not so sure), but if you pre-string, you'll need a second loop. How did you make those sidesupports btw? They look awfully consistent Did you use a milling machine?
I have a home-made table saw in my garage, I cut them in rectangular shape first, drill them, countersunk them to certain depth, cut 45 degrees on each side to made a final opening of 90 degrees, then debur the edges by a steel ruler.
Ohh yeah, Like that... Now I see. To share, my mode-made stuff. All credit to my dad He did the same thing, drilled a hole cut the 45 deg. stuff. The black stuff is shrink-sleeve, the white is a polymorph bodge-job. Because the metal was damaging the string. My advice, drill the hole 20mm in diameter. I helps a lot
well, bigger is also good enough Just, from what I first had, such a small hole is nice; because it doesn't block any holes. But if you drill it a lot bigger (as big as you can without making the support flimsy) you can use your fingers and pliers a lot easier...
Great modification!! Could you share the measurement specifications of the alum pieces with us by any chance? I would want to do something like this with a Klipper M140.
Standing Ovation ID, could you flip the turntable over so we can see the bottom of the mounting system? Thanks!
