Today I printed up the holotape test mechanism. I designed the first version of this way back in August. It is really satisfying to see it working in the real world. There are some tweaks to be done. Currently the springs aren't tight enough (They had to be shortened in the test rig). The closing is a bit rough. And it can jam if the Holotape is in just the wrong position. But otherwise, the design actually works!
