Full size LowRider table base

I should have checked - it’s the same for me too - @vicious1 Ryan, have you enabled “Link Sharing”?

Try Export instead of copy. All the settings look good.

It can be exported, but that doesn’t allow creating a drawing. The link appears to be from the normal URL, not from the “share” menu >allow link sharing>copytoclipboard

I’ve checked a couple of my documents and all of the shared links start with the same URL(of course) and then have another string of digits starting
?renderMode=0&uiState=…

Using the address in the first post in my phone app gets a 404.

Shoot, when I get back to a computer I will take another look, sorry everyone.

Okay does that link work now?

Thanks for following through! Was it the “link sharing” menu that was the stumbling block?

No, I had to make it fully public. My settings allowed for export with link sharing but it didn’t seem to work.

Public is fine, not sure why I didn’t do that before. I do not like that I can not specify a license though, that is very odd.

I don’t think that’s good enough for commercial software - I love what Onshape is doing and the rate of development, and for a free user, we take what we are given - is it worth logging a support ticket?

Nah.

I suppose I could have exported the file and each user can import it themselves. I can specify a license that way. I will keep it in mind for other projects.

I currently have the LR3 with a full sheet capable table, and looking to make the upgrade to the LR4. Has anyone incorporated a table saw into this base set up? I’m a noob when it comes to designing these types of changes, but my thoughts as I am limited on garage space have too many tools (or so I’m told), is to be able to remove the cnc table top and have a table saw and router inset. Obviously the next step would be some sort of locating fixture (pins or clamps) to be able to set/hold the cnc top back down in place.

It can be down if you avoid the rail, but not with this base at all.

Start a new thread and maybe add a napkin sketch of what you are thinking about and we can help you out a bit more on your idea.

All of the pieces are finally cut as of 20 minutes ago. Going to start assembly this afternoon. Wish me luck

Dry fit

Glue Up

When I got to the top, something isn’t fitting right. I wouldn’t fit even with the most vigorous persuasion. I will take a look at it tomorrow, but my first guess is I’m recutting it. The good news is have an extra sheet

Like the tabs all lined up but were too small, or they didn’t line up?

PS it is super crazy to see that in another shop…I just finished making mine.

Tabs are the right size, but it’s like the sheet is a trapezoid instead of a rectangle. The ends fit at one end or the other, but not both at once. It was time for dinner so I haven’t taken any measurements to see if the top is out of whack or the rest of the table is… I’ll look tomorrow more.

So the answer is kind-of “all of the above” - the top is out of square by maybe half an inch, and the base is out of square by about half an inch (in the other direction) so it’s not close enough to make it work without putting torsion on the whole box and lifting one corner off the ground. So on to plan B.

Off with their heads.

Yeah I lopped all the tabs off the top plane, hit it with a belt sander, then glued it up.

Elegant? No.

Functional? Yes.

It’s not the primary cause of misalignment, but hypothetically, if someone were to mount the middle reinforcement upside down despite making a mental note of it during the dry fit it could make the drawers unusable as-is forcing them to probably buy some cheap bottom mount drawer glides. Hypothetically, mind you. I would NEVER.

Root-cause of the whole thing is, I think, needing to square the whole contraption up again. I can’t remember if once I cut the strut plates if I re-did that step or not. Either way, when I move the CNC to the new table I’ll relevel and resquare then flycut the surface level. I know it’s out of level by just a tiny bit but I didn’t want to level it on a known-temporary surface.

Oh no. That is a bummer. Good on the fly thinking, though. It will work just as good no problem.
