Limit strap idea

[bozo]

Looking for some limit straps for my AX24 and saw that some were using elastic bands meant for orthodontic braces. When looking on Amazon I ran across
These.

Many colors and types are available and they are seriously elastic and tough. May not work for bigger scales but for the 'lil guys they seem to work great. There's enough on a roll for life.
I used a washer to capture an "eye" so the screw wouldn't tear the elastic.

That just may work, great idea.

As a kid who wears braces (not by choice), these things break! (& fall off)

Good point!
Hopefully in this application they won't. I have done three other rigs with no breakage so far.
The nice thing is that with all the holes it's easy to fine tune the tension.

That's probably due to you constantly eating Oreos. Only so much wear and tear those things can handle
