Assembled my Creality CR-10 S4 on Sunday after letting it sit for close to a year(?) after buying it. Got a smokin' deal on it through Amazon btw. At that time they were relatively new so were selling for around $800. Clicked on the 'ol "See other buying options" tab and up popped a refurb unit from Sheng Schin or something like that, priced @ $459.00 with a 28 to 32 day shipping window. Showed it to my E.E. buddy, he said "Don't even think about it". I figured Amazon'd cover me so I went against his advice and ordered it. 7 days later there's a box at my door with a shipping label from Tiny Machines out of Houston. Brought it over to my buddies shop where we immediately proceeded to unboxing. Turns out it was a brand new unit with the latest motherboard and all the goodies. Obviously I did not file a grievance. Ever since I saw the new AT G-8, I new I'd have to build something stupid light yet still capable of containing electronics. Tracker was a gimme and since it's a plugged motor, well...Came up with this, should hold my Eggfinder mini, a Quark and a small battery that has yet to be determined. Still need to roll the lightest tube I can and decide on fin stock.
N.c. is a 6 to 1 secant ogive, tube is just for reference
. Got a feeling it's gonna need a really calm day and a really long rail, but I just can't not try it. Anyhoo, here's a pic or three. I can't get past the fact that this fells like cheating, it's just too damn easy
