Everything about the splay linkage goes here.

Overcomplicated splay linkage

The all new less than simplified spplay linkage assembly. the plus of this design is the lack of backlash in the open positiion.

also no backlash in the closed position, the ratios are really close, but sadly not quite perfect. eventually I may revisit the design and adjust the tie and drive links to get the fringers to perfectly align when closed, but right now I'm happy to just have the setup without the wiggle.

It may have half the amount of parts, but the backlash that I get from the index and pinky drive me crazy, so I redesigned the linkage to be much more complicated and over engineered.
