SIDEBRACE Redesign

So, with Rob and Ken jumping in and working on this thing, it all went together in one night.  It went together kind of quickly, and I did not get to take any pictures of what we did.

Since that one night, a week and a half has gone by.  I really have not had the time to take pictures of the finished product, and the one or two little "gotcha" nuances with which we dealt.  We have had a build night since then, and Rob was actually disappointed that I did not bring the OneUp back.  My project, this week, was flushing a heater core that I removed from my car.

Now I am on a trip, and won't be able to take pictures until I get back.

However, tweaking a 3D design is easy.  So, I did a redesign on the OneUp V2 SIDEBRACE piece that people break so much.

   

I was thinking of drilling some "lightening holes" into the thing, but trying to "enlighten" the part is what got us in to trouble with the original SIDEBRACE piece.  Remember?

I would love to upload the part file to the site.  However, *.STL is not a valid file type.  Maybe I could zip it.

I was thinking about posting the OpenScad code, using the CODE tags, but the program is excessive, as I programmed the curve with many (1-degree) line segments.

I will probably post a *.zip with both the *.STL file and the *.scad file, so that if I did not get the end tab right, it can be tweaked out in the field.  However, I am going to clear it with the Grand Poo-Bah Admin, first.  No need getting fabric8r sued by Q3D.

Then I will post the *.STL and *.scad files in a *.ZIP archive in a separate thread.  That way, it will be easier to find.
