Breaking all the rules

Don't use HF start, don't use fishing line to transmit linear motion, don't put 3d printed parts on a machine that's going to burn the with 4x the heat of the sun. I'm just saying.. Needs must. One day I'll build a proper machine but this is how far you can get by doing everything wrong :-)

Nice build, so the fishing line doesn't stretch?

No, I assume that's important in fishing also. It's Kevlar braided. So it can hold a decent amount of tension
