I would like to design and possible mass produce an FPV drone that will have a similar parts made out of super stiff carbon like the one you see in the link: https://shop.iflight.com/Chimera7-Pro-V2-Replacement-Parts-Pro1919 What is is the best and cheapest manufacturing technique to make these...

Chris, Alex, Can it be designed in a single weldment, then create parts from the individual bodies and flatten them? Thank you

That's the answer I didn't want to hear...Shoot.

I have made plenty of structural weldment designs and detailing. The same goes for the sheet metal. However, it is my first time making weldment with medium to complex sheet-metal shapes welded onto the tubes. If I model the sheet metal as a body, how can I show the flattened view? Or is it...

I have an SMC cylinder with 50mm Dia operating at 60psi. I need to design a pneumatic circuit that would enable the cylinder to push with 10-25% its capacity (I need a pressure regulator to adjust as needed) at the start. Then once the part is lifted of the table, I need the cylinder to push...

I am still figuring out how the reply system works on this website. Seems like I am not able to reply to individual messages. Let me know if I am missing something. To answer the questions directed at me: 1. The other side without servo drive needs to be as narrow as possible as it will pass...

How can I support the other side than? LM guide on one side, rollers on the other side?

Let's say I manage to fit in another servo motor and gearbox on the other side. This will synchornize the drive. But what can I replace the LM guides with? Something that gives medium accuracy and easier to align that LM guides.

In the previous post, I had asked how to design the lift mechanism of this gantry [https://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=500944]. Now I need your input how to move this mechanism 8 meters along the rails. For now, I have both sides resting on LM guides driven by a single motor on one side...

Thank you all for your input. I changed the design quite a bit. Please keep in mind that this is still in draft stage. I have 2 cylinders on each side lifting the middle section. I have 2 link shafts with gears attached to them. They synchronize the movement on the left and right side. I also...

I am outside right now. I will make a sketch and add more details here once I get back home.

Are these covered by the singles around the sides to lead the water over it?

I need to design an enclose for a 10inch diameter hole outside a building. The enclosure needs to be metal and must prevent water leakage into this hole. What kind of enclosure would you design here and what kind of adhesive/foam or whatever you'd use between the metal and the concrete?

Thank you everyone for your insights. I have come up with a mechanism that should alleviate the concerns listed by you. I will change the design in coming days and post it here for further review. Thank you!!

TheTick, That's what I was looking at as well. Do you also share the same concern about the precision LM guides as the gents above? I was thinking to switch to simple rollers running on the flat surface of the sides as a replacement. A roller that has an in-out adjustability.
