Anyone want clear Sanwa ball/bat tops and hollow shafts?
Franco:
I havent decided which Sanwas to get yet but I can make some for you for either diameter. Being Japanese they should be metric so as long as you can measure the OD of the thread and the thread length then I can make some.
Timoe:
I would buy some shafts and tops for the Sanwa JLF.
oh yeah. Franco, you know I buy. ;)
Franco:
Hey Timoe, its been a while buddy! (or rather ive been away a while!)
No problem mate, im going to get my Sanwas this week and then I can get a program, etc sorted for the shafts
As for the balls, does anyone know which plastic to use? Im guessing that if they are clear then they are not going to light particually well as there wont be much for the light to refract off apart from the thread etc. I have seen some really nice lit ball tops. Any idea how they do this? Is it a case of a special plastic or is it frosted etc?
Im also going to be doing some more stainless dust washers soon too if anyone is interested. Ill get some new designs up this week.
brandon:
how about using bubble tops like Lizard Lick sells?
Franco:
Wow, thankyou!
I had been looking for some ball tops just like that but I couldnt find any.
I was pricing up some cast acrylic to machine but I was looking at a minimum order of 1m which is about £50 ($100) and would be far too much for just making a few balltops.
$4 a pice from lizard lick is much better. :) The bubbles should refract the light from the LEDs nicely too 8)
Ill still need to make some hollow shafts to house the LEDs and wiring but thats a great help, thanks again :cheers:
