Any Shaft requests?
<< < (11/11)
MacGyver:
Yay!  I ordered mine, I almost forgot to order the 10mm balltops to go with them.  I will use those until the 6mm version comes out, then I'll buy those so I can use my translucent red and blue balltops again (both 6mm).
 :applaud:

Thanks again for getting those made, I was getting a complex about never being able to finish my cabinet.  Thanks to you, the end is in sight.   ;D

Seriously, I looked everywhere, and you have the only ones for sale on the planet, and I have looked everywhere.  It is such a specific part, that only such a small group will ever need, that I was worried they I would never find one.  :cheers:

As far as working with the ServoStiks, I guess I will have to see, if not, something somewhere will get modified to work, the shaft was the part that required very special tools to make, and now that that part has been taken care of it shouldn't be a big deal.  (hell it may just fit perfect as is, we'll see)

Gah, thread was bumped, but not with hallowed WICO 4" shafts... 

I am disappoint.
armi0024:
Opt2not, they are coming... I will check on production.

If someone is willing to ship me a servostick, I will do a hollow shaft for one....

Any news about hollow shafts for servo stik?

Everything got here complete and fast, but, like you thought, the ServoStiks are non-standard JLWs.

Here is a comparison from the side.
From the left: JLF (hollow), stock shaft from the ServoStik (not hollow), new JLW (hollow).


From the bottom down.
From the left: JLF (hollow), stock shaft from the ServoStik (not hollow), new JLW (hollow).


The length is correct with the replacements, the top half width is irrelevant, but the stock ones are too skinny at the bottom.
So I'm going to try to put it in a drill, and "lathe" it down to size with sand paper.  Wish me luck.

This is of course after I mixed every stick and shaft I had laying around to try to get it to work, but no.
I could try to drill out the pivot (little half-ball thing) but its solid metal, the black spring keeper wouldn't be a big deal as it is plastic.
I'm going to try the lathe method, as I bought some 10mm threaded shafts I can practice on.
