DIY Auto Rotating Flash?
mimosatexas:
I do like the idea of the slide. I'm pretty close to figuring out the end result. I'll be sure to document and post when I have it completed. I should be able to build it over the Christmas break.

I could probably do something with some kind of line and pull system, and just pull one way or the other when I want to move the flash, and have build it stops for each position. would probably cost like 10 dollars. Of course it would probably look insane...:D
I was thinking some kind of reversible gear motor with a chain would be the simplest. I know some cheap rotisserie motors switch direction with every power cycle and have relatively high torque. Great ideas so far!

I can see this now. One string tied to left belt loop and another to the right belt loop. Hey, you could even get your exercise while printing, lol.
Mark @ Hurricane Printing:
I have a black body flash and i think they sell that extension arm so you can manually swing flash from your printing station. I think they sell an auto box too....i totally forgot about all of those options..i may look into it...maybe an end of year Christmas gift to myself.
mooseman:
here is another homemade flash auto rotater idea from RubeMooseberg....
never built this as I can easily reach the flash from my print station which is smack between the flash and dryer...hotter than hell but we been working it this way for years now ::).
Gilligan:
Moose, just fire off both cylinders with one foot pedal... No matter which position just smash the button.
