Bend Radii
I'm currently working on an endcap much like the ones included with the kitbot, but adapted to hold 20-20 extruded. My question pertains to bend radius annotation. The kitbot's bends are labeled as .62 r, but what does this mean? I've measured the radius of the actual bends to be about 1/16", so is this annotation a coefficient you put in front of the actual material thickness (1/8 by .62 is around a 1/16" bend)? I'm assuming so, but we know what assume does...
