Owl, after you mentioned an adjustable cam I had to get one for mine. Its on its way. My ikarus is the 4.2mm version, and its great for laying color. I'm looking forward to slapping that new cam on it, shortening the stroke, and trying some black&grey. Maybe even lining...... who knows

I wish you all the best, glad to hear it. I have only lined 5s and 3s let me know if you go bigger.

that 4.2 should be great for lining.

after reading some of these favorable comments I sprang for a direct drive and an inline, both with adjustable cams and the abalone faceplate. once they arrive and I've had a chance to use them a few times i'll give my $.02.

Best of luck to you. I hope you like them. I have had a few issues with lexan tubes slipping a little but otherwise my experience has been very good with mine.

can someone tell me how to post a jpg? I've done it before, but either I or my computer aren't working correctly. thanks
