More machining -- new glass stand/rest

[kproche]

Today I finished milling the new glass stand for Thinbot, and test assembled it. I still have to wire up the switch and update the code to recognize it.












I probably don't have time to get it anodized before the show, but it looks pretty good in its natural silver.

Oh-- I also ran the pressure test on the heat exchanger now that it has had a chance for the sealant to cure. No drips after running it for an hour!

Dunno, but would a thin rubber gasket on the tray where glass meets metal be out of order?

The tolerances on the microswitch are such that it might not trip if I add a mat.
We actually had one originally on the existing holder, and it just became a sticky mess.
The edges of the tray are all carefully "broken" from being sharp, so I'm not too worried about scratching the barware. Especially since we usually are using plastic :-)
