ZFM15 Back Tilt (Read 826 times)

Thank you for this. The link was immensely helpful. A couple of things come to mind immediately:

- my inclination (as noted in one post in the thread) would be to angle the face of the plinth/base that the baffle attaches to with a mild angle (say approx 7 degrees) and then adjust with supports from there.

- with the baffle tilted back, it would seem that the feet/supports on the front become redundant.

On another front, if the intention is that the baffle is attached to the plinth/base permanently, why not use dowels and glue? If it is to be removable when needed, machine screws and threaded inserts in the base might be a better long term solution (just don''t glue the button covers in place ;)
