That one's actually a bought model (Number 50217 from vectorart3d.com. One of the first pieces I did on the router - since then I've got a lot better at modelling from scratch, but it's very time consuming, and sadly - isn't really viable for one-offs. One of these days I'll find time to build a l

Re: [Emc-users] OT: Desoldering station minor repair
