What do you mean by using sheet metal and lexan for the outermost part.
I wanted to put tensioners in but my 5 year old DELL laptop could barely run inventor long enough to make this render.
I would like suggestions on how to implement tensioners though.
48 lbs seems a touch on the heavy side. Is the battery included?

Instead of using tube stock for your outside frame, can you replace them with bolted on sheet metal?

What we do is two pieces of nylon bolted through a spacing tube, and to tighten them we just tighten the bolts down, to loosen we loosen them.
