Progress of my own Morgan

This bill of materials is based on the status of my own build of a RepMorgan. You can see, how far I've got until now over here: Progress.png

Actual progress (zip, 15MByte)

Update Sat. 08/10/2013: Progress 01.png

The bracket from Quentin's repository doesn't seem to fit. Here's a new version for the z-mount-bracket with an axis distance of 175mm instead of 190mm.

Points so far:

  • The position of the pvc-support mount holes has been corrected, so there's no crossing of the pvc-tubes anymore (while preserving the original pipe-lengths).
  • The design of the pvc-pipe-supports was enhanced to get more stability.
  • The design of the z-mount-brackets was slightly modified for stability.

New ideas and notes

More stability for the frame

The stabilty of the frame could be improved by using steel cables or sth. similar to pull the supports together with some tension. Therefor there could be some wing nuts on the top platform, to tense the cables. (drawung will follow)
