2013 Pyramid Corner Gussets - Any interest in purchasing?
 

I might be manufacturing some corner gussets for the pyramids, in both the official and team versions. I want to gauge the interest if other teams would be interested in purchasing these. Thanks.

Re: 2013 Pyramid Corner Gussets - Any interest in purchasing?
 

price? What cutting method?

Re: 2013 Pyramid Corner Gussets - Any interest in purchasing?
 

Wood "team" version would be baltic birch cut on CNC router - $30+ shipping for the set of 16
Steel ones would be the official welded version, cut on laser, waterjet, or plasma (price and mfg method TBD).

Re: 2013 Pyramid Corner Gussets - Any interest in purchasing?
 

Is that 30 for steel or for wood. We want steel.

Re: 2013 Pyramid Corner Gussets - Any interest in purchasing?
 

$30 for wood. Steel, not sure quite yet, I'll let you know. Guessing the price would be about the same.

Re: 2013 Pyramid Corner Gussets - Any interest in purchasing?
 

We want steel versions as well. Any one do a rough cost/BOM for a full official pyramid?

Re: 2013 Pyramid Corner Gussets - Any interest in purchasing?
 

We'll take a set of steel.

Re: 2013 Pyramid Corner Gussets - Any interest in purchasing?
 

Glad to hear someone stepping up to offer this, it's a great thing to mass produce, but a pain to do in a small run.

If they can be ready inside of three weeks Team 296 would take a set, maybe two (we hold a scrimmage).

Re: 2013 Pyramid Corner Gussets - Any interest in purchasing?
 

Absolutely want a steel set!

Re: 2013 Pyramid Corner Gussets - Any interest in purchasing?
 

I'd be up for a set of steel to build one half of the pyramid

Re: 2013 Pyramid Corner Gussets - Any interest in purchasing?
 

Probably interested in a steel set, and possibly two, as we are working to do a week 0 scrimmage. Need to confirm with Mechanicals.

Definitely interested in pricing, considering a "half pyramid", one side, steel (6-8 parts total)

Re: 2013 Pyramid Corner Gussets - Any interest in purchasing?
 

I believe the gentleman who is working on this for us mentioned something about "Not going to exceed $400 max." I was a bit shocked, but he did the research, not me, so I can only tell you what I heard.

My ballpark estimate for pipe alone was about 175 for the team model. It is gonna be one heavy and expensive field element.

Re: 2013 Pyramid Corner Gussets - Any interest in purchasing?
 

We'd probably buy a set.

Re: 2013 Pyramid Corner Gussets - Any interest in purchasing?
 

3481 will buy at least ONE but maybe TWO of the STEEL corners.

Please contact me when you're ready for orders... THANKS!

We have about $200 into just the pipe and tubing for the official version, minus the DOM spec. We bought standard welded seam tubing, since DOM was WAY more expensive, and not readily available.

To clarify, we will be producing the steel corner gusset plates only, not full welded corners. It's likely that the plates will cost in the neighborhood of $3 each. They might be 3/16 rather than 1/4 thick. Still working on details with our manufacturer. Should have it tomorrow.

We can produce the plywood gussets if there is sufficient interest, but I imagine most teams can fabricate their own.

Re: 2013 Pyramid Corner Gussets - Any interest in purchasing?
 

Making them out of 3/16" is far less attractive to us.

Re: 2013 Pyramid Corner Gussets - Any interest in purchasing?
 

Team 991 will definitely buy a set

Re: 2013 Pyramid Corner Gussets - Any interest in purchasing?
 

Gussets will be lasercut from 1/4" plate and cost $80 shipped for the set of 16. in the US, to teams who have already posted here or talked to me. They will ship on Saturday 1/12 if payment is received. You can PM me.

Re: 2013 Pyramid Corner Gussets - Any interest in purchasing?
 

Team 1111 would be extremely interested in a metal set.

Re: 2013 Pyramid Corner Gussets - Any interest in purchasing?
 

What if we only wanted 4 or 8? If so, 449 is definitely interested.

Re: 2013 Pyramid Corner Gussets - Any interest in purchasing?
 

1519 is interested, but I'll need to check with our field element subteam to make sure they haven't already started making these!

Re: 2013 Pyramid Corner Gussets - Any interest in purchasing?
 

Team 1230 will purchase set for a full pyramid.

Please contact me to work out payment details. Thanks

Re: 2013 Pyramid Corner Gussets - Any interest in purchasing?
 

Team 2601 would also like to order a full set

Re: 2013 Pyramid Corner Gussets - Any interest in purchasing?

If they sell out to the above teams, I'll consider a second run of parts, and offer them to the remaining teams and additional new teams, by the order of posts in this thread.

Re: 2013 Pyramid Corner Gussets - Any interest in purchasing?
 

for $80 we'll pass, please let the next team have our spot.

Re: 2013 Pyramid Corner Gussets - Any interest in purchasing?
 

Thanks for doing this! Order sent, now our small, rookie team can focus on other stuff.

Re: 2013 Pyramid Corner Gussets - Any interest in purchasing?
 

There are approximately 5 and a half sets of gussets remaining that are available for purchase. Ordering is now open to all teams who have previously posted in this thread, on a first come first serve basis. Here is the Ordering page. Please use gracious professionalism here, and do not purchase if your team did not previously indicate interest in this thread. Thanks.

Re: 2013 Pyramid Corner Gussets - Any interest in purchasing?
 

GUSSETS ARE NOW SOLD OUT! I am considering doing one more run of about 3 full sets. It would likely be about two weeks until I they could ship out. Please post here if you want to purchase a set. No guarantees.

Re: 2013 Pyramid Corner Gussets - Any interest in purchasing?
 

For anyone who is still interested, I will have two more full sets available to ship out around January 31st. This will likely be the last of them. PM me if interested.

Re: 2013 Pyramid Corner Gussets - Any interest in purchasing?
 

so can you happen to tell me the dimensions of this? our team mentor is wondering for our climbing purposes.

Re: 2013 Pyramid Corner Gussets - Any interest in purchasing?
 

nevermind. after some research we found it :)

Re: 2013 Pyramid Corner Gussets - Any interest in purchasing?
 

Team 2137 bought a set and has decided not to use them. We would be willing to sell them for what we have in them. Please PM me if interested.

Re: 2013 Pyramid Corner Gussets - Any interest in purchasing?
 

A limited quantity of pyramid gussets are back in stock. Order this weekend and receive most likely on Wednesday.
