The project's goal is to develop an affordable prototype for the specified device, ensuring it can be produced in quantities ranging from 1 to 500 without using expensive manufacturing methods like dye casting or mold injecting. The design exudes a robust, industrial appearance while avoiding a homemade look. Production costs rather than assembling time were prioritized since the device is deployed for months without disassembly. The net, when disassembled and packed, measures approximately 40*30*125cm. Pre-assembly is necessary to attach the net. All components are off-the-shelf items with minimal modifications, such as a 16mm diameter rod, and are laser/waterjet cut or 3D printed (ABS, 0.2mm layer thickness, with 30% honeycomb infill at @120% extrusion width recommended). The components are easily replaceable with locally available alternatives. Pre-assembled parts can be shipped to the assembly location in compact packages for final assembly using only a few tools: a hammer, M16 wrench, and M5 wrench (one of each). The net automatically adjusts and can withstand winds over 100km/h or 1500N/m2 pressure on the net. A step-by-step guide, documentation including a complete bill of materials (BOM) and price calculations will be provided in future updates. The project is still a work in progress, with minor improvements underway, such as adjustments to screw placements.
