Closed - Internal Stiffeners

Y'all should just send me a 3D printer

 

Would be awesome for sure!

I would want to for the sole purpose of creating an "install guide".

 

What about:
Rip out tail lights
Make holes
Install
Screw
Drive
I could make some doodles on a paper bag?

 

See, that sounds planned

This needs to be done from the hip; I'm thinking crayon or whatever writing utensil is within arms reach

Any surface will do followed by potato pics posted as a how-to

No literature, just pictures

 

Two weeks too late.

 

I've got two rolls of TPU, which is a flexible plastic that I could make something like that, I need to tune settings for TPU though. I may give it a try, but I only have one printer, and I gotta go into production mode for the parts we have now!

 

I wouldn't have had steel though since pre-orders weren't in yet!

 

I know I know!

 

I am so tempted to jump over the mountain to meet up.

 

Like looking at little nursery. I think mines in there.

 

Still got cutting to do, and bending the last two replacement pieces I'm about to cut out otherwise, all the bending is done.





Because the angle is so shallow on the L bracket, I have to do those manually since using air can easily overbend it.



In other news, Shinobi left a half-eaten ramshorn for dead.



When we got home from our kid's appointment, I fed the crew bloodworms. That's when I saw Shinobi chasing and getting on top of the ramshorn.

It's been a few hours since then and he's nowhere to be seen so yeah...which is weird cause he normally leaves shells completely empty.

 

What sucks is, one of the replacement pieces I'll have to cut out is due to it being overbent yesterday.





I'm sure it'll work, but I didn't want to chance it so chalking it up to more scrap.

 

Can't do any welding today because the bulk order of nuts hasn't come in yet

Aside from needing to cut two sets of F bombs, everything else is cut and bent for batch 1.















And even though I don't need plain brackets now, they'll be ready for fulfilling batches 2 and 3 that asked for them.

 

Awesome! You're doing great work... too bad about your nuts!

 

Technically they're the thread's nuts.

Y'all paid for them, you nut lovers

 

Just wanted to throw this out there!

There is still just one spot remaining for batch 3!

After which I'll close off ordering, and get to working each remaining batch.

This will allow me to assess the total time spent on production, account for losses, consumable usage, etc. and set a new price point

But with big orders, you learn a bit more versus small orders or one off items so this has definitely been helpful.

 

Well, @Kwikvette since no one else has spoken up, please put me down for the last spot on batch 3. Tie down option. Let me know payment info, and I’ll send deposit.

 

Will do!

I guess a lot of people from the last thread fell off but no worries, you're added.

Closing up ordering and after all batches are complete, I'll open it up to make them per order or in smaller batches.

 

You can even invite the 2nDeGenerates to the reindeer games.

 

I know I am on the third batch. Do I submit payment now? (Sorry, I haven't been following the entire thread so I missed a lot)
