Warrior Trike cutting templates

prusaprinters

<p>I'm building a recumbent tadpole trike called the Warrior. I bought the plans from <a href="http://www.atomiczombie.com/main.aspx?click=plans">http://www.atomiczombie.com/main.aspx?click=plans</a> , so I won't be uploading them, but these are some templates to help you neatly mark and cut the steel tubes.</p> <p>Templates:</p> <ol> <li>a 90 degree notch. this is used to attach the rear-seat-tube to the rear-forks.</li> <li>a 45 degree cut. This is used at the bottom of the rear-seat-tube and the tail end of the rear forks.</li> <li>a 76.66 degree cut. This is used at the front/top of the centre-boom. I used the power of trig to get this angle.</li> </ol> <p><em>bonus</em> all templates have a straight-cut built in. 2 templates in one object!</p> <p><em>BETA</em> these templates are currently untested. Also, I haven't worked out all the angles of the front forks yet, so there's no templates for those yet.</p> <h3>Instructions</h3> <p>Don't print these: they don't work. Also, its about a 6 hour print on my ToM.</p> <p>I'll post a rev2 soon.</p> <ol> <li>print</li> <li>slip template over steel tube</li> <li>mark steel with a sharpie</li> <li>remove template</li> <li>cut steel</li> <li>weld</li> </ol> Category: Other
