Updates for the Anti-Chimper
Whoa! Last stage! Final product incoming!
I’m in the final step of engineering the anti-chimper. I want it ready for Friday! My third prototype is awesome. The fit is almost perfect. I’m going for perfection!
I will remove the rear 1”x1” square: it increases the cost of production for no reason. Same for the mirror inside the rear panel: cool on paper, less practical in real life. I want to increase the quality of the print (resolution) by 200%, which brings the cost to $17USD with all the complexity of it. By removing the mirror and the rear 1x1 square, we are saving a staggering $7. It brings back the cost of production to $10-ish (before some sort of mass production rebates).
We can make it in carbon fibre for about $70 or wood for about $30.
The three options now are:
1) High-quality plastic ($10-ish)
2) Wood ($25-ish)
3) Carbon fibre ($80-ish)
If it would be only for me, I’d do it in carbon fibre ;)
See some pictures!
Cheers,
JP
ps: the reason the plastic looks “low resolution” is because it was printed in a “draft” setting. The real version will be like glass, smooth surface.
Whoa! It flips down!
