Here’s an unsolicited tip: If you guys had digital calipers, you could measure one of those two holes (because they’re the same) and zero the calipers on that hole dimension, then measure across the outside of both holes and the caliper will display the center-to-center dimension exactly.
yes, this makes sense. But why not just measure inside of one to the outside of the other. What does the zeroing do? new question....... Adding new write up. haha
Did you do any stress analysis to ensure the new longer tabs wouldn't bend or buckle under the new load and mounting location? You're extending out the moment arm.
You can make a tangent constraint between the two circles as that is what you actually measured when you measured the space between them. You can also do math inside of the dimension tool, might make things like adding 15 thou a bit easier.
Tay, do you Know of Kurtis from Cutting Edge Engineering in AUS? I only ask because he uses that other measuring system and it seems like it may be easier when machining and plasma cutting. Just a thought. Also I hope this increases your viewer interaction part of the algorithm and makes things more betterer.
Precision!!! I heard Lift Arc got a call from the guys that built the CERN, Particle Collider. They need some pointers from 'The Tay Team'. aka: 'The A Team'.
Never use a standard computer printer output as a template to measure from or establish cut lines because a printer uses slightly different measurements to draw lines in more than one axis, i.e. fixed number of units for each dimension x, y axis results in a different resolution for each axis in letter sized paper for landscape and or portrait format and will cause slight differences from drawing to print out making direct taking of measurements from printout inaccurate even direct scans will be slightly different from original document. Specialized printers as used by blue print companies are needed to allow in spec drawings for the taking of dimensions from prints for measurements not noted on drawing from a printout. Ray Stormont
Pass this along to Spike/Tay but look at the Mapboards or the Pro version addon for Fusion360 for generating DXF or SVG format files automatically from your 3D models.
Obviously Fusion is where it’s at for fab and translates to other businesses and industries but for small quick projects I love shapr3d. I can just carry my iPad around and do almost everything fusion can design wise. No sheet metal tools or cam but I can have it right at my toolbox and make prints too. 300 a year isn’t horrible.
@@KZ-yy9pm The beauty for me is I can take a basic design and crunch it from a 3D model into a tab and slot Laser or Plasma model or produce an initial prototype on one of my 3D printers by a simple combine of those sheets. Same package then gets dropped to either my Mill or Router depending on what my head comes up with 🤣. Even as a 'hobby' nonbusiness the few $ a week is well spent.
@@seabreezecoffeeroasters7994 I should have clarified, not 3d prints (obviously those too) but “prints” as in blue prints and different format 2D drawings which I can use on a cnc router or plasma table. Still fusion is king, not sure what that’s makes solidworks lol.
I would just put a piece of cardboard under it. Trace it out. Save a lot of time. But I don't have computer skills or computer that cuts metal automatically
Backward engineering? Aaaaaaaaaa, I think the term you’re looking for is “reverse engineering” lol Regardless, thanks for the content. I enjoy your stuff quite a bit.
p.s. - imagine drawing the whole part, as tall as it is and at 1-to-1 as you say. You wouldn’t “fit to page” after that would you . Nope! Margins suck.
Won’t punching holes in the hard steel weaken them? These things are rated, aren’t they? It your problem, I know, but still if they’re rated at say, 5,000 lbs, what does that do to that?

I’m impressed you use a vernier caliper!
I’m surprised you haven’t gotten an ArcDroid yet. The trace function is awesome.

love it
Look the holes, do they have wear? If not why add them to the new brackets?
damn good job!
Measure tape over the part and take a picture and use it as canvas? It's not the most accurate but helps a lot 😅
I love the Merch Promo!!!!!!

Looks like you need a 3D Lazer scanner

Just once I'd like to see a t-shirt with the pocket on the RIGHT instead of the left.

Oooooo fox body.....

"We're located, at least for now"?! What's this, did you find another abandoned machine shop?!
Is your Lift Arc Summer commercial AI generated?
