Building a proper flightcase for a Cerberus-derived delta 3D printer. It ought to be flexible enough to house both the newer -printed- model and the original model in ways that even rough treatment will likely be survived gloriously.
Challenges:
-
Find ways to keep weight limited so it can still be carried by a single person. - Determine how to best design inside of case to accommodate the different variations of the cerberus.
- Find some way to cut foam into arbitrary shapes
-
Find affordable sources for support foam and 'hang en sluitwerk' plus wheels.
Due date: no later than December 19th, 2014
Challenges met:
- Cheap non-birch 9 mm plywood; good compromise between price, sturdyness and weight.
- Found wheels and butterfly-lock-thingies in my attic.
- Ordered pre-cut 'hard foam' at some shop, so possibly avoided cutting it myself.
- Protection will basically be just a tight fit inside between 20mm hard foam plates
