Re: Another homemade cage thread!

it's starting to look like a cage, however i think I messed up when doing measurements. it has enough clearance but when it is on its side the bottom bar hits and the slider comes nowhere near touching. I guess it'll be fine seeing as if it does roll it'll juts hit the derlin tip.

Re: Another homemade cage thread!

Finally looking good. just have to clean it up and paint the cage, I decided to clean up and paint the chopped up micron exhaust, looks a lot better. I'm pumped about my first cage build!
