Maybe a Carvey would come in handy?

We've been redesigning the printer for nearly a month now getting the accuracy decent, its really good at holes and may not need reaming when printed. I'm too busy today and tomorrow, I'll do my best to get a cad drawing of what I've got in mind up shortly. With any luck I'll be back from college about 23.00 so it may get done tonight, wouldn't hold breath though..
