Thanks! I'm not sure if "improved" is the right word though.
In my mind it was a trade off between funtionality and aesthetics.
The result just looks a little too blocky compared to where it atarted.
The bent beams are a great idea. They hold it all together without adding
any friction the way a regular beam would and they look way cool!

It really just ended up that way because of the spacing needed... I had
been trying to keep the layout similar to your design but ran out of time
last night.

I was thinking along similar lines a couple years ago when i ordered
these four pumps... just never got around to trying it out.
I'd love to see what you come up with.
