Mini Lair Drawings

We used the drawer slides from VEVOR, linked below. However, the drawer slides we used did not have the locking mechanism, and they seem to have stopped selling those. You should be able to remove the locking mechanism yourself when you receive them, but you may want to verify with VEVOR before purchasing (or find another manufacturer that sells these).

If you go to automate this design, be sure the motor is pulling the roof from the center. The drawer slides tend to shift and bind if you pull from one side.

Just got a peek at a few pics by someone who built their own Mini Obsy based on the plans. Made some great improvements by the first look I've had. Super Clean Lines. Disappears in the backyard looks like a small garden shed but has a secret. Just kinda blown away how good a job they did. Congrats.

This is why we wanted to give away the plans. We want more people to own their own observatory. We love this stuff that much!

JeffGeiss I found an image of the Front Wall drawing and just took a screenshot on my phone. For whatever reason, the full discussion wasn't showing up on my PC, but it was there when I pulled it up on my phone.
I know this might be a little extra, but has anybody ever put together a BOM for the miniLair? Great design btw, I can't wait until the weather warms up a little to get started on it!
