Hey all,
Does anyone have a 5kg weight plate similar to below which they could donate to the screen printing facilities?
The printing arm on the screen bed needs to be counterweighted, and I thought I’d ask around a little before buying something!
Cheers,
Pete
I have some spares, but I think they’re 2.5kg
Does it need to be that size and shape? Metal has loads of heavy stuff that can relatively elegantly be fashioned into a weight.
i have 4 i can donate but I don’t quite want to have 3 afterwards, do you need more?
We could definitely take them! The screws I need to fit them onto are M20, reckon the hole is big enough/could be fashioned to be big enough for that? Thanks @nhjansen @scythian!
@hernehillier I was considering this as an option but there’s a few projects to be getting on with and I thought a bit of speed may be more useful than me tinkering about not getting much done quickly this time 
Sorry, I had replied this morning but it looks like discourse didn’t post it and deleted my message…
I think I’ll need between 5kg and 15kg in total for the counterweight, so I’d love the weights if possible @scythian! I need them to fit on an M20 screw, either as they are or if I can enlarge the centre-hole to make it fit. If these aren’t quite enough or if I need a smaller weight to make it work I may take you up on the smaller plate(s) @nhjansen 
@hernehillier I had considered this but with a few projects on the go I thought this would be a quicker way than me faffing around not actually getting much done
Legend, appreciate the speed of that!
