1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

yea i bet it will go exactly like that

 

Sometimes you have to get creative if you want the 3D model to function, like making turns of the seat actually move the acme rod up and down isn't so easy. But to allow general spinning is simple, just don't constrain rotation.
Most hardware models can be downloaded free off mcmaster too, so you don't even have to manually model all that stuff
Only weird thing on that seat would probably be finding and defining the angles between your leg supports

All any CAD is at the end of the day is just drawing lines, 3D just has one more line than 2D

 

I like the old keep hitting it with an angle grinder and hammer till it lines up perfectly method myself

 

He likes to brag about his tight cut tolerances, shouldn't have to grind or hammer anything into place if he modeled the whole assembly
As long as his fixturing and welding can hold that same tolerance

 

I get tighter tolerances with a mag drill and precision reamer

 

More about setting expectations of what my CAM should produce vs what it actually produces

You must never heard of standards

 

standards? yea my tacoma has a standard

 

Standard gas
wheres your twin spinny boiz at?

 

Nope never heard of them

 

All im saying is a holes a hole. You can always fill it in with more weld

 

Just got a call from TMW, my kit is shipping out today! They got that monster cut and packed in less than a week!

 

“weld”

 

Not everyone has enough weld to fill the hole though

 

@Sperrunner I think someone's low on freon, might wanna go top them off

 

I should be receiving the dash mount this week. I ordered the ARB sockets to clean up my wiring mess. I can use it Colorado. When did you get a GX? I missed that one.

I like the reviews on the G3s. I also like the snow and rain rating. Winter is a lot of rain. Also we get ice. I would rather have tires that are a bit sticky over super hard. I like Discount Tire because they have a store in Durango. If something happens in CO, then they have my purchase in their computer and are good about honoring warranty.

 

Thanks for those drawings you sent over. Helped out alot

 

Absolutely!

Whenever you need blueprints, I'm your guy
