I think I’ve got my mitts on enough toothed pulleys to complete the second and<\/em> third batch (so that’s all orders already placed so far, plus a few more). \u00a0I won’t know for sure until Friday, when they are supposed to be delivered. \u00a0That would be great news. \u00a0They are all re-bored from\u00a00.188″ (4.78 mm) to 5 mm, courtesy of the very helpful people at Davall Stock Gears. \u00a0They found a machinist and solved this problem for me when their supplier, Stock Drive Products, could not.<\/p>\n

The re-bored pulleys have imperial set screws (6-32) with 1\/16″ hex sockets. \u00a0We bought 1\/16″ Allen keys to include in each kit, to save you from hunting around for imperial-size tools.<\/p>\n

Those with orders in the second batch already know this: I made an embarrassing mistake. \u00a0I wrongly thought that we had all the flexible couplers we needed, but, in fact, they had never arrived (lost on their way from Hong Kong, I assume; why I thought they had arrived I have no idea). \u00a0When I realized that, we ordered replacements. \u00a0They arrived today, and they are the same good quality, so that’s one more problem sorted.<\/p>\n

If you’ve followed Harry Raley’s Ulule\u00a0updates<\/a>, you know that MakerSlide was scheduled to be delivered to him this afternoon. \u00a0As I was typing this, he confirmed that it has indeed arrived and that it is, I quote, “awesome”!<\/p>\n

So all looks set for orders in batch two to ship next week.<\/p>\n
