Notes
- I only had enough dimension information to make a very educated guess as to where the beam path will be. However, I can't design the head portion without having the unit in hand.
- After a little over two years worth of iterations, I don't think I can really do much more with it. I would like to have this completed by the end of the year.
- A detailed BOM is slowly being pieced together.
