Hi Nick, thanks for the reply. Yes, I've done that but this being specific to bonsai, it's usually beneficial to go directly to a [bonsai] community specific forum where people have likely brainstormed, fine tuned and assembled exactly or almost exactly what I'm looking for with the help of other community members. There may be a one-product solution out there and if yes I haven't found it, but I'm also not convinced theres's not a better DIY one with different components I can put together.
