Template:Statusboxtop Template:Status-prototype You can help Appropedia by contributing to the next step in this OSAT's status. Template:Boxbottom
Abstract
- Paragraph description of the OSAT - why is it Appropriate? What need does it fulfil? Are there case studies you have found of a technology being used successfully?
- Picture of completed print using printer
Bill of Materials
- Materials needed for fabrication of the device, prices/sources of non-printable parts
Tools needed for fabrication of the OSAT
- MOST Delta RepRap or similar RepRap 3-D printer
- Drill Bit 1/8 inch
Skills and Knowledge Necessary to Make the OSAT
- Knowledge of Using Fasteners
- Installation - Screw, Rivet, Bolt
Technical Specifications
Print Instructions
- Print time estimate - 8.5hrs (Printing all four pieces at once)
- To ensure proper bed adhesion, the use of a brim or a raft is recommended. I had good results with a brim of 2mm.
- Nozzle size 0.4mm
- Wall count 6
- Infill 80% Triangle
- Nozzle temp: 222 C
- Layer Height 0.1mm
- Support material is not required.
Assembly Instructions
- Assembly time estimate - 1hr (Dependant on fastener type)
1. To determine the placement of the mounts, the container intended to be used is needed.
2. Place the container in the desired location
3. Use a straight edge and mark the edges of the container across the surface. This will help with step 10 to align the remaining corner pieces.
4. Place one of the Fuel Container Restraint pieces at one of the corners of the container.
5. Mark where the mounting holes are located with a marker.
6. Remove the Fuel Container Restraint piece and drill out the marked holes.
7. Use the desired fastener to secure the Fuel Container Restraint piece to the surface.
8. Repeat steps 4-7 for the remaining pieces.
Cost savings
- PLA - $1.09 49 grams, 1/8 in. x 1/4 in. Stainless-Steel Blind Rivet qty 100 - $8.60
- Fuel Can Bracket - $77.09
- (77.09)-(8.60+1.09) = Savings of $67.40 --- 87% Savings
