What does this mean anyway? Kelvin Color Temperature: Warm = 2700-3200k Nuetral = 4000-4500k Day = 5500...

Re: DIY kit assembly

More on Bearings: I got mine from a $2 pair of roller-blades from Deseret Industries (a thrift store like Savers or Goodwill).

Re: DIY kit assembly

I've been asked for dfx files from the guy that is going to cut these parts for me. Where can I get updated dfx files that include the modifications for the glass-fitting? I need the spiral-bound scanning ability.
