Laser cut Acrylic #36
Comments
I did redesign most of the part, but unfortunately not for U.S. sizes, but for different metric sizes. I agree that this is annoying, but it is relatively easy to do if yu have somewhat of a feel for CAD. Sure, you can also sand and shim, but modifying the CAD data seems much less work. Acrylic is almost impossible to sand, and shims will make everything weak. You are probably fine if all you do is change the size of the slots. No real need to lengthen or shorten the tabs. There are few truly citical parts. Make sure that the pistons still fit inside the cylinders. |
Fully agree with MatthiasWM. If you don't have access to CAD, you could even change the SVG/DXF with a On Tue, May 10, 2016 at 10:55 PM, MatthiasWM notifications@github.com

Do you have any advice for someone in the United States for modifying the design to accommodate the sizes of acrylic sheet that are available here? It turns out that 4.5 mm and 9 mm are the most common sizes close to your spec. I don't really relish the idea of redesigning the chassis, and I'm wondering if I can get away with sanding down some of the tabs to fit, or adding shims where necessary.
