I used thin polypropylene sheet, 0.39mm thick. I got it from my local art supply store. It needs to be scored for it to fold properly, but if done accurately, it seems to work fine. Polypropylene is supposed to have great "hinge" characteristics. Mine is still a prototype and hasn't been used much. I folded based on the information in patent number #6054194. Here are some pics and a movie. http://home.people.net.au/~frankt/Bellows_Collapsed.jpg http://home.people.net.au/~frankt/Bellows_Expanded.jpg http://home.people.net.au/~frankt/X_Bellows.wmv ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
