elevators

  • Up and over elevator is probably better than sideways from a structural standpoint
    • Sideways can limit intake iteration to some extent
    • Depends on game though
  • prepunched tubing on an elevator lowkey makes u look like a noob lmao, either do the circle cheese, milled triangles, or keep it clean
    • odd saying this but referencing the 1678 elevator with punched tube later but whatever i said what i said

examples

  • 1678 elevator cad has exact fits on bearings, no tolerance between tube surface and bearing

    • joints can be relatively simple - idk if those plates are steel though lowkey could be for stiffness?
