$100.oo for decals, OUCH!

100ft of plastic is a LOT too!

No, I said $100 *more*. It was actually close to $200 for a decal sheet around A4/letter size (large elements cut from black vinyl and small printed on clear vinyl).

I've just ordered 3 sheets of 20x25 cm size filled with text and logos printed on clear vinyl for $30 from stickerapp.com . I'll have to cut them out myself and I don't know how thick or invisible the clear vinyl is, but I'll make sure to update when I get them. Another alternative is printable waterslide decals, but I feel those need another layer of clear coat to protect them, and I don't want to risk messing up anything else right now.

Skills here are incredible. Matching bodywork and curves like this is amazing!

Thank you!

Ladder progress. I'm not sure how the pulley system works on the real one, so I don't know if I'll make it functional or just glue everything together.





I think I finally found the perfect water tubing for the monitor. 3mm ID, 5mm OD, 1mm wall thickness black silicone tubing. I tried 0.5mm wall thickness too, but that was way too thin and would kink at almost any bend radius. This one doesn't kink but is still very flexible and won't stress the servos.
