Assembly!

I just wanted to see how everything fits together! I hate Onshape so I only have the left side, but you can use your imagination. I’m going to make the actuator connecter a bit wider so it doesn’t clash.

The actuator that I’m ordering already has screws, so I’m just going to use those to connect them to the actuator!

Progress on CAD

1. Semi finished the actuator, it’s good enough to use for assembly.
2. Made the connectors, they need to be different sizes because there’s different connection thicknesses.
3. Spent too long on string holes, I was overanalyzing the best design.

Now it looks like this! All I need to do is find how to connect the actuator, do the electronics, and design the case and mount. Hopefully ship by this weekend :,)

Modeling the linear actuator but I’m getting an error and it’s almost 1 am so I’m good for the night :)

I need design help/feedback

I used paper to figure out the correct measurements and then adjust my parts accordingly. I also assembled them so it looks proper. I haven’t added the extra bars that go on top because I don’t know how to make them look good. (TBH I don’t know how to make anything look good in cad).

Made the base frame bars for my wings

the design is similar to the one at undercity and I estimated the lengths of each bar with the holes that will connect each bar. Instead of servos for each wing, I’m going to try a linear actuator at the base of both wings for movement.

I also included my brainstorming + and my inspiration, however my wings aren’t going to be that big haha. I want to spray paint it silver!

My next steps is using paper to make sure that these lengths are proper and to see how I can make it look cooler without effect the base.
