Prototype Needed

[HNL2LHC]

Anyone interested in making a prototype for me. This is not the final design. It actually will be a little simpler. It will be make out of aluminum. The piece will be about 2” x 2” x 1”

Those two bottom pieces hanging down will be a problem .
Thicker is better and better is less time

How about a 3-printed model

Can you have it laser cut and weld the tabs on?

We will be doing the 3D printing as the first step. There are other ideas of making the legs singular and thicker. This was just the first iteration that was enough to post up.

Certainly could do that. Was also thinking about drilling and use a few pins to align,

Wander over to @RiverDave shop, he might need an excuse to start up some of his cool toys.

Lmk if you need any welding done.

What in the heck is it for?

 

[ChumpChange]

Very cool. That’s a game changer!

Send the model and I'll check it out. [email protected]

If possible, do a slot and tab for the ears hanging down to simplify location during assembly.

What thickness is the metal?

I am out of town for a few days. I don’t have the file with me as I did not create it.

What thickness is the metal?

The final product is about 3/16” thick. Just about everything can change if it makes it easier.

That is what we were thinking to make it a bit easier. Thanks for the suggestion.

At a quick glance I would make it 3 pieces with slots that the 2 pieces slide into and get welded. If you make it 1/8" or thicker it would be pretty easy to weld. I would get it cnc cut either plasma or laser. How precise does everything need to be? You might need to make a jig so when you weld it everything stays in alignment.
