Re: Kitbot interface

One of the tricks in our toolbox for prototyping is this product http://www.estoconnectors.com/index.php/connectors/thumbs/category/1-inch-square/. The connectors themselves are designed to fit into 1/16th of an inch 1 inch box extrusion. You can put a superstructure together pretty quickly and easily surface mount it to the KOP frame or the plywood bellypan as previously mentioned.

Re: Kitbot interface

I know here at AndyMark we sell vertical attachments that bolt to the kit frame. You can use the vertical corner links to attach c-channel vertically and build up.

Re: Kitbot interface

We have used 1" 8020 extrusion. It's pretty fast to put together and it integrates pretty seamlessly with the kitbot. Just like the kitbot, it uses 1/4" hardware and regular 1" spacing.

It can be heavy and expensive, but if used properly it can save tons of time. (especially if you have limited machining resources)

Re: Kitbot interface

if you are willing to modify your spacers, you can flip the inner rails, and use more of the corner extrusions to add inner structures. I'll have to try and find the CAD.
