Jigging Components to Manufacture/Print:

- T-slots (10 ct.)

- 2in x 1 in x 19in (3ct.)

- 1.5in x 1.5in x 16in (3ct.)

- 1.5in x 1.5in x 32in (4ct.)

- Will generate engineering drawings for each length T slot and all the holes indicated

- L Brackets (24 ct.)

- 3in x 2in x 0.188in (21 ct.)

- 1.5in x 1.5in x 0.188in (3 ct.)

- Will generate engineering drawings for both L brackets

- Pucks (52 ct.)

- Will generate engineering drawings for each puck

- 3D printed Jigs (12 ct.)

- Send Cut Send (35 ct.)

 

Jigging Machining:

  1. Pucks - Approx 1 week (Without teaching new members, 3 Days)

    1. Lathe pucks down to the correct diameter

    2. Part puck off and keep lathe

    3. Drill a 1/4 hole either before trimming down or drill a hole in each puck afterwards (depends on how much time, later is better for tolerance)

  2. T Slots - 1 Day (Whenever stocks come in)

    1. Drop saw to marked length

    2. Mill bottom face to ensure flat

    3. Mill Holes

  3. L Bracket - Approx 1 week (Potentially more depending on hands available and trained)

    1. Need specifics about milling operations, but the gist is:

    2. Drop saw a little extra than needed

    3. Mill down both sides, so we have a flat side to indicate off of

    4. Indicate the first holes on one side, then flip to the other side while maintaining the same distance from the edge for each hole

1. Welding Front Bulkhead

  1. Tack and then Full weld as far back as possible with the rest of the floor flush tubes, setting up the front bulkhead vertically in the process

  1. Shift the entire frame forward about 3 feet to tack and full weld the rest of the frame.

  1. After all the floor pucks are done, set up your vertical datms, which are the rear roll hoop and the vertical in the rear.

  1. Tack and jig the rear trailing arm, using tabs to guide what miters to trust. After this, set up the two cross bracings between the rear roll hoop and the rear vertical datm.

  1. Shift the frame back to its original position, setting up some of the pucks and toe clamps to main positioning and make sure that the rear is not falling. Put a table next to the optical table just in case. Now, set up the front CA jigs and tubes, test fitting with the tabs. Now tack these tubes.

  1. After tacking the house structure begin test fitting with triangulation tubes, and full weld the spots which are getting covered on the house. Then go in and full weld the triangulation.

  1. Set up the front roll hoop using a plumb bob and jigs, then tack and full weld necessary areas. Continue with triangulation on the other side of the house structure which connects to the front roll hoop and tack, then full weld.

  1. Last step will include doing all the triangulation in the rear roll hoop and between the hoops. This is where all of the tolerance stackup should theoretically end up therefore things may be a little jank but not too critical.

 

Caveat to all of these, full welding the underside and hard to reach places will take place at the very end.
