fwiw, i have overhauled 7 or 8 MK46's lately. _every_ one of them has had outer screen braid broken. i really advise all MK46 owners to service their cables

neil

I was communicating with terrapinj about this and he mentioned that I should get in touch with you on making a longer set of cables using the existing MK46 components. I think the set I'm getting is at 9 feet but would want something double that length. Is that possible? I'll surely be sending mine in if you would like to take on that task.

30minute 3d model.  3/4" brass rod as stock.

I have some Ideas for the center pin and making the internal electronics serviceable. 

Is it possible to cram the necessary electronics into this type of model, and how long would they need to be?

I am not a 3d/cad artist, first time i have touched a cad app in 10+ years


I just handed your design to a guy in the machine shop at work.  He kind of busy right now, but I am know he will give me a prototype real soon.



He just asked me what the inside diameter for the cable hole should be....

Assuming Belden 1804a would be the choice of cable. 3mm for the inside diameter

Sorry for the shit picture, i took it with my phone.  I have three of these.  They are pretty heavy, but future ones can have thinner walls.

Neil - Give me a jingle if you think these can help with the project.  Otherwise i think I am gonna try and do something on my end.

that is to say, i would be happy to collaborate, but don't really need the pieces you had made. just need to do collette board layout to finalize collette dimensions.

also need to work with BJ as his mounting solution looks killer.

ordering the first round of parts tonite/tomorrow.

just back from the taxi tour of NYC. pooped.

best to all

I'll give Neil a call and encourage him to update folks if he hasn't checked in here by the end of the week.  Last time we talked, a week or so ago, he still had not received the parts he'd ordered because the supply company delayed and then informed him his order would not be fulfilled b/c he had not met their minimum order ($$) requirements.
