Seems like a great size!
This is a sharp looking build, and you’re getting great results.
It’s fun to watch you making progress with your machine.
Thank you for continuing to share and update your progress with the forum.
Drag chain looks great.
Looks Great! How did you model?
Hello, thank you for your message. Very well done! I still remember how much work it was to make all this by hand. I also really like the design on the backrest. Best regards.
Hello, thanks for your message. I designed these chairs using Sketchup. You can export your design as an STL file and then easily print it with a 3D printer (see photo). In Sketchup, you can also easily create an optimized cutting pattern (see photo) as a DXF file, which you can then send to your Lowrider 4 through your program. Best regards.
Interesting! I absolutely love SketchUp but migrated to Fusion. Never thought of 3D printing a design to evaluate. I made those chairs by hand many years ago but drew to full scale on a drafting board on mylar which I used as template. Yes I am THAT old. First job out of college was at International Harvester design their large tractors. All drawing boards. Funny as I was born in Chicago and only farms I went was my uncles once a year. ![]()
I am from 1959 also the old days, thanks for youre response. Greetings
Really looks good. What and how did you model it? SketchUp?
Hello,
I imported this existing STL in Sketchup and redesigned it also in Sketchup.
In the meantime, I’ve printed it with my 3D printer and I’m very happy with the result. Tomorrow I’ll send some photos to the forum. Best regards,
That looks great, make sure to secure the top of the hose to the top of the core still or you will suffer from poor Z accuracy with it hanging out like that. I tuck them in as close as possible to minimize and effects the hose might have.
Hello Ryan,
thank you for your good advice.
I think adding another attachment to the core is a very good idea for even greater stability.
I will work something out and post it on the forum later.
Best regards.
That looks like a very nice setup.
Have you printed and installed it all?
How humid is it in your environment?
Do you ever get static electricity zaps when working with your dust collection?
