Re: pic: FRC488 -- Fall Project

I appreciate everyone's continued feedback. I am reworking the design with it in mind and will have a revision ready later on today.

Already, it's looking better, though there's obviously a long way to go.



I am pretty sure this can be assembled. I moved the assembled wheel clamshell into place from the outside in the model and, while it was a tight fit, it seemed doable.

Our mill and lathe are often bottlenecks in our fabrication process, so I try to design as few parts as possible that require milling or turning. So, until belt pulleys are sold with that 6-hole pattern (and versakey! ...hint, hint), we'll not head down that path.
