Its looking great, congrats on first one.

yes, you just cant alter anything and save it.

You can do it almost any way, but the easiest is to use cardboard for most of the raised area, then the rondo will add a little more height. You are going to want to sand it, so make sure the rondo goes above the height that you need. also remember that the more rondo you have, the more you have...

If one of you understand alot about arduinos, you should post a tutorial specialized for the ironman system.

wooden dowel would work fine, pvc works well, and is cheaper.

the only way to make it easy(its really just more work) is to make a two part mold. first use petroleum jelly(not harmful) and only use pieces to wrap half your arm in the plaster bandages. you want to let that dry and then while its still attached, wrap the second half. Once dried it should be...

I know one person actually snipped off a screw head and dremeled(this can't be a word) out a hole for it to fit in, then glued it in place. I don't remember which thread it was on that i saw it... i read as many as i can.

Oh no, not worth your time at all! (leans over to the other people sitting in awe. "I wish my good cast looked like that!") No no no, cant have that.

If you buy the gallon containers of Elmer's Glue, dilude it with water, then just use a simple paintbrush to spread over the paper, It works great. Also if you are looking for more strength, Kraft Paper Tape does wonders to strengthening paper. Just get it wet. This is just paper tape, nothing...
