4 PART 1U CUBESAT

grabcad

This CUBESAT is constructed using 2 DMLS HD parts made from Aluminum AISI10Mg, with tapping and anodizing as secondary operations. The unit assembles by placing the Z face on a table and attaching internal components, followed by inserting 4 x 8-36 UNF SHCS into the available holes in the other part. Gravity holds these screws loosely in place, with allen wrenches used to tighten them. Spring plungers complete the assembly. Alternatively, components can be attached from the opposite end. To reduce weight, material could be removed from the solid sides.
