    Critique Request Beginner level scroll design attempt

    If you are looking for tricks, step one is to get the dog legs and flats out of the backbone of the spiral. Fun trick to get out of tunnel vision is to use a single layer for the backbone and flip the drawing to check for accuracy. Using separate layers can really make the errors stand out...

    The sil air through grs is exactly what you are looking for. The california air they offer is far too loud for what you need. I have tried both and now use the sil air with my gravermach AT in an apartment setting. No noise problems.
