Re: Need some help with Acu Stion chain set..
I had thought about it once, until I heard the stories of other peoples attempts. Then I never even opened the package.
I can say it is similar to the Cosmos Factory chain, assembly wise, but CF layed it out in a better manner. In CF's case, you would lay all of the pe sheets on top of one another, slip the pin, or wire through the hole, cut and move onto the next one. Not to say that it is actually that easy all the time, but it goes together in a better fashion. Once all of the pins were in, cut the finished chain off of the frame and file the little nibs down. The last CF chain I did for a friend took me about 3 1/2 to 4 hours, including coffee and potty breaks.
Unfortunately, Acustion didn't see it this way and just made some links, threw in some wire and tube and said " Let them figure it out ". I've never really been to fond of their products, or pricing.
A friend of mine has done some drawings for a 1/12th chain set that would be just, if not easier than the CF chain. The problem is finding someone to do it at a reasonable cost. Maybe we will have some luck soon.
I can tell by your frustration that you are on the right track, but there is really no simple way.
