We had great fun in the TeamChat for this project - Frank, Eric, JB, and myself - discussing the future of Ivan. A few ideas emerged and we were unsure of Ivan's form and function until Frank posted the following photo.

Once that ductwork image was shown, we all immediately realized Ivan's form. If you read back in the logs and comments, you'll see how we were hinting and guessing at something of this sort, however there is nothing like a photo to really express an idea like this. So after some enjoyable convo among us, I slept and then upon waking CADed up the following design.

This stylish adapter plate (screw holes missing) performs the support function necessary while also offering a nice view on those way cool gears that we worked so hard to set up earlier. Hey, you can't hide cool stuff in a gearbox, can you?

The only thing remaining is the holes and also the stand that mounts onto the base plate and also onto this adapter. After some peer review and posting the files and such, it will be time to fire up the printer and crank out some plastic yet again!
