Thoughts on Stiffening mod

Hi Geoff steer,

Would you be able to supply me with the CAD of the actual maker slides that you used in your drawing or advise as to where you got it?

Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks
Andre Taljaard

Last I checked, Makerslide.com had gone away, which was where the extrusion profile CAD data was — it might be that Inventables has the profiles on their parts listing page.

Hi Will,

Thanks for the info. I have good friends at an machine shop and they made me a sample of my idea. I wanted to have this 3d printed, but they will be wire cutting it out of 16mm aluminium making the tolerances really tight.

Hi Robert,

Theoretical yes, but they will be making me 5 off these components at no charge. I’m not confident that the replacement section will reach my house undamaged. Don’t get me wrong, not cause inventables would not ship it properly, but rather the South African section of the journey might have damages…
