Looking for a up lock and down lock block for CNC owner produced

[Hector]

David - set up a go fund me, and I will chip in for a set of drawings, and be ready to buy, when ready.

Probably the best way to go. If all the folks here that are interested in buying a set of these pitch in some for the drawings it should be a minimal amount. Actually surprised the drawings are that inexpensive. Where I work, an engineer would have to review and approve/sign off the drawings and his time alone would be more than that.

I'll pitch in. Would not take much from everyone that has said they want a set.

As far as part cost per unit, I believe LASAR has them listed at $390 each. I’d rather not set up a go fund me as I’m quite busy enough. If someone else wants to do that, I’d prefer that. 
I’ll do my part by removing the parts from my bird and get the drawings when it looks like the costs are covered.

Thanks,

David

I have never setup a go fund account so I’ll let others take a crack at that but if no one comes forward to do that then maybe we can just get a PayPal email to send Money to.

Its an easy part to do, this was 3-D modeled (no measurements) in 30 minutes. I didn't generate the G-Code but I would guess maybe 60 to 70 lines...Both the original and the one I purchased from LASAR are anodized which helps with wear. I can't see the Up-Lock block (on the floor) ever needing replaced unless it was broke or missing...looks like maybe 3 setups on 3 axis CNC machine

Welcome aboard Anders.

That’s an interesting idea...

Nice work, RLC!

Best regards,

Awesome!! So we have a 3-D model of the part. We can 3D print it if we want to compare with the real part as a last check before we go to production. I can do that if we feel it is necessary and ship it to whoever is doing the verification. Then Sabremech uses his CNC shop to make the Parts??

the one i did is just off a photo I had, there are no measurements. If I was doing them I would machine 1 for fit and adjust accordingly. Once the G-Code is proven I would machine them like this, the blue starts out as 10" x 17" x 1" (reference only), profile machine down leaving 100 thou or so, bandsaw them apart and machine the bottoms off (blue)in a fixture. 2 fixtures for the drilling operations, throw'm them in a tumbler and send them off for anodizing

I agree with the go fund me. But can do PayPal. I'll be happy to help!

I'll throw my name into the hat too. With a $400 drawing, what do we think the per product is likely to be?

[N201MKTurbo]

I'd put some radius on those front corners or you will have blood stains on it...

[Anders J]

Let us see if we can get this done.  Any support will be greatly appreciated.  Go fund me is up.

Indeed the floor gear up block wears.  I’ve experienced the bar popping out many times.  It hurts when it strikes your lower arm and elbow areas.

Donated !

Looks like there are 18 people on this thread interested. MATH: that's ~$22.22 each to get us to $400. I just put $25 down.

[Skates97]

I'm in, a little north of the $22.22 

[tmo]

You paid the CA tax ;-)

[MooneyMitch]

I could be labeled as a CB, but don't have my official membership card [yet] !.............let's see how this $ amount plays out towards the $400 required, then maybe we can make up any deficiencies.

[carusoam]

You guys are GOOD!

As a founding member of the CB club... I have honored the cause by laying down my lunch money for today... 

Last I checked you are all 1/4 of the way there...

Best regards,

Do the sought after drawings include the floor block too..............possibly...............maybe.............hopefully.............perhaps ?

That block DOES oval out also.
