    At the Perth Show Toto and I purchased some laser cut throttle holders, designed to be attached to side of the base boards


    Great as these are, I also wanted something that would hold the throttle on either a desk or on the traversers, so here is the first attempt

    Again designed on Autodesks 123D software I came up this



    Currently printing - 5 hours so far.

    The final version will get rounded edges.

    Paul, I think before you go into full commercial production a few should be tested out in warmer climates :thumbs::thumbs::avatar::avatar:

    Ian in your case it would probably best described as a cork, it regularly is used to control flow :avatar: :cheers:


    7.5 hours to print, but a few issues with bottom layer has resulted in a couple of changes, plus I've rounded off the edges.

    I'll start the print off in the morning
