The 3d printer has been busy printing off a load of brackets. Last week ordered some precut 4020 extrusion through laziness and started assembling the frame.

Most of the electronic bits are on order as are the belts and pulleys etc.

It will become this eventually

For the sake of $30 to get the plans and STL files I thought it was worth a punt. I quite liked the electromagnet feature which allows me to cut brackets off an 8x4 half size sheet without having to trim it down to size before putting it in the plasma. Also can just be hung out of the way when not in use.

Interesting, their website says the parts are mostly available on amazon, I assume you need the plans to get the details. Was it easily available in UK?

I made a pair of these.

They are for wifey's Pop. It had no form of bonnet support at all. I don't know if that was down to the "popular" spec or if they had been removed. Anyway, they fit like this. I still have to make the hold up clips

I am not sure how long the polyurethane boots will last so I will make a few of them. The latest ones are quite hard to get out of the mould and need pressed out. Previously I was using the vice in the garage but it was awkward trying to hold two bits of box, the mould and the bolt for ejecting whilst tightening the vice so I decided to make a small press up , now I don't even have to go round to the garage

Nice. I like that. Did it start off as box section?
