Sorry to disappoint... and I don't log onto this site every day. But I did say this when I first brought it up: Use bead-chain with large balls for your flexible "wires" to make connections from the machine to the load. And then right after that I provided a link to a USAan source/manufacturer of large sizes of ball chain. It's not that huge an issue; the 1.5 mm ballchain, silver plated, will be better than thin flexible wire, once you find the offending rough or sharp spot. Larger is better, within reason (cost, availability, physical handling properties, etc all should be considered.) It's not worth fighting about though. Another item that is indispensable is aluminum foil duct tape. And a trick I showed in passing in one of my videos is to use tiny magnets attached to either end of a length of ball chain -- with bits of the aluminum tape -- to make connections with metal cans or spheres. If the spheres are non-magnetic, you can glue another magnet inside the sphere. Mark the location on the outside, and then you can stick your magnet-ended ball chain on at that spot. Hope you feel better soon, Grum. You are doing good work, keep the stress level low and chill out for a while.
