Been looking at modifying the files a bit in a way that could help anyone making one do it cheaper and with a greatly reduced part count, providing they have access to a laser cutter able to cut a complete 14 inch circle. A lot of the parts are there because the typical hobby laser can't cut that large.

Just my luck the mother board on my design machine took a crap, and I'm down until the replacement gets here. Shouldn't be long. (Gotta love that Amazon Prime fast and cheap shipping!)

Due to current financial constraints I can't do a whole lot with this right now, but I sure don't want to let it die! So I'll keep moving, slowly, as well as I can. I have to admit I was hoping to get in the finals, because that $1,000 would have gone a long way with this project. Being that I didn't things will go slow, but they will go on..

Started working on a website for the project, but until that motherboard is replaced, that's also on hold.
