👍👍😎👍👍 Of course we don't know the operating loads, but material couples can be a critical design feature for moving parts to prevent galling. Had the customer considered if a different non-metalic was feasible? Or if increasing the cross section at the failure location was possible? Maybe this arm failed because something jammed and the arm was actually a fuse in the system to minimize damage elsewhere? It's always exciting to reverse engineer a part and then discover what design details were never shared or known 😉. Thanks so much for sharing the CAD/CAM details on this very interesting project. Looking forward to Part 2
Yeah, that is the problem with these black curtain jobs. I agree about the intentional fail point you mentioned, like the plastic gear in a lathe drive, the guy was tight on cash and didn’t even want anodize
Can't wait for part 2 ❤
Coming soon, thanks for watching
Very clever, hacking a new part from an existing CAD file!
Thanks Bll!
👍👍😎👍👍

@@DragonflyEngineering - I completely understand. You were providing the service requested and doing a damn nice job of it 👍👍
Huh, I would have thought the gears of the two paddles mesh with each other.
Yeah, I agree, sort of a mystery. Thanks for watching!
Just curious how much would you charge the customer
About $500 for 2 sets and cad. Thanks for watching!
