3D printed av-bay sled

[bill2654]

I'm looking for a 3D printed sled for a 2.6 airframe. It needs to be 6" long and 1/8" thick between two 10-24 all thread rods 2" apart. I'm all out of g-10 and plywood.

Here's another link to the one Wildman sells. It shows all the data on sled.

2.6" with 2" rod spacing is gonna be hard to find, I believe, unless somebody designs and prints a custom sled for you.

You may be better off with some plywood from Michaels and two igniter tubes from an Aerotech reload.

A custom sled was kinda what I was thinking after seeing that everyone elses were not the size I need.

If you are looking for a custom sled, I am willing to do it for you. pm me with a sketch include key features and dimensions and I should be able to put a rhino 3d model together tomorrow. I print mostly with PETG, I have two printers and I can fit the print in to the queue.

edit: "https://www.thingiverse.com/Djkingsley/designs" I have posted one of my 98 mm sleds here.

I also can do it for you. It's an easily modified version of this (without holes):

PM to discuss.

Like this...it's next on the printer if you want it, if not I'll find a use for it!

Here we go...

Some progress...

 

[patelldp]

Surprise! Your sled is done!

I even made it open source...it's an insanely simple design.

Dan, I like the one in your first post (#7) I'm going to have stuff mounted on both sides of the sled so I need max room on both sides. PM me with PP details and thanks.

 

[bill2654]

Thanks Dan! PP sent

Merry Christmas! It's so cool to be able to bring your description to life and on your doorstep in a matter of days using this technology, I really enjoyed the idea of doing it.

To those that have asked, I will not be offering any sleds like this for sale on my site. They're such a basic design and there's already other people offering them in standardized fashions. If you have a custom request that is not fulfilled with what's currently available in the market that you want drawn and printed, please send me a PM. I am treating custom parts as more of a service than a product and I have chosen to not compete with those that currently offer printed sleds...Andrew designs a better sled than I ever will.
