Drawing wise I'm getting into sketch up, all other software will be as recommended on the build site.

Emulsion = water based

Gloss = oil based

I didn't make an emulsion last time either, boy I'm getting good at this bio lark.

As toungue in cheek as your remark was ... the only thing I'm being very cautious of is not letting Frankin pump run for any longer than necessary during the 7% wash.

As a bit of practise, you'll need to mount the Arduino on something.  I fabricated (read ... cobbled together) something but if you want to print a more permanent mounting you could start with the attached file.  I drew this to space an Arduion board off the table so you can play with it, but it could easily be adapted for fixing to the printer frame.  I've mounted my electronics to the front right.

As the file opens, the right hand end will be the end with the power and USB connections.

It was a genuine question, not tongue in cheek at all.

Oh, sorry, my apologies.

Think I'm getting too used to people taking the mick!

It's just about portable, but I'd rather Jim brought his in case mine gets broken!
