Thank you very much [USER=39]Boba Phett[/USER]. That is very encouraging to hear! I will certainly keep running with it until I find a solution or determine that one doesn't exist within grasp of my mind- and/or tool-set.
To be honest, that's one of my biggest hurdles right now. Every scenario I've run thus far has me convinced that the holes are staggered but the question I'm still struggling to answer is: "but just staggered are they?" Getting to that answer requires me to use 3D MPP models that I (and now also using those from [USER=4963]RafalFett[/USER]) have designed based upon dimensions, drawings and/or pictures of various users' MPP's - and then scaling those to Boba's MPP in order to calculate the various measurements. If MPP's themselves vary as much as the designs/templates I've run across even thus far, then it may be close to impossible to calculate with a high degree of certainty (at least based upon the current method I'm utilizing). Just as an example, based upon my most recent run-through, a 1.5mm change to where the holes start from the end of the tube (i.e. scaling Boba's down to the same distance as Rafalfett's version) makes the differential between the holes shift from 8 degrees to 10! Needless to say, I have more work to do before even forming my own opinion on it - much less putting it out there for others to consider as being a remote possibility.
