DIY Auto Rotating Flash?
mimosatexas:
Out of curiosity, if I was going to buy new/used what brand/model would y'all recommend? Anyone happen to be selling one? :D

I had a Hopkins with the forced air. The tiny motor eventually quit. Then the leads to the panel started shorting.
That thing was a death trap. A very very hot death trap.

I agree with Tony, I like to build stuff too and I'm a cheap azz, but some things are best bought already built and up to code from a reputable company, hate to see you burn your shop down, not that you will, but if it did happen your insurance company can't wrinkle out they claim.

I actually built my own flash using a custom built 18x24 IF panel from intek that works on 120V. They were really helpful with the build and it works really well. The panel and components were just over 300, and with sheetmetal and stand it came out to about $400 total for a huge flash with custom electrical requirements. The auto rotation shouldn't make the flash any more dangerous. If anything it will prevent danger by keeping the flash from sitting over the platen. I'm thinking there is probably a pretty easy way to do this, far simpler than the schematics linked above. I don't need anything fancy, just back and forth or a 90 degree turn.
