G,
HA HA HA....(actually it cost me some sleepless nights) it looks like this is one of those nights.
I had seen a file made by TJ and was interested in info on it and where the supplies like the glass cylinder and sizes and had not heard anything. There have been other maze files but obviously the larger you make it the bigger it has to be.
This is why i was interested in the cylindrical maze files because you could make it bigger (going from 1" to 4" diameter) and it wouldn't make it so unweildy that you couldn't have it sitting on the coffee table or throw it in a bag to take for the kids to play with in the car.
For me what is going to dictate sizes is where you can locate the glass cylinder, end caps and ball bearings (or marbles) for supplies.
Because it seems to me that material size, depth of the trough cut, and size of the bearing along with clearance of the glass cylinder are all things that need to be taken into account when figuring this out.
That was why i was hoping to get info from Shopbot or TJ to see if those files were available or info n where to get the supplies.
I haven't looked at your files yet but if it is something i can read and try to make something on my indexer i may give it a try.
