Proposed Changes to OM Architecture

  • Instead of printing separate arms and cross bar mounts and using a threaded rod for the Open Y, combine parts into a single plastic saddle that can be printed so that there is less flexing and tolerance issues. Undercarriage brackets would still need to be printed as separate parts (maybe). The belt harness may also be printed with the saddle if some support material is included under the prongs.

Proposed Changes to OM Components

  • Extend center prong to make belt attachment easier
