So today I got my grant, meaning now i actually have to build this!!!

Only problem is… i forgot to include shipping and taxes lmaooo 170 dollard with of parts now cost 200 bucks lol

AANNDDD i forgot that i actually needed the parts quick cuz im actually trying to submit this for super hardware builder lol

What I did:

  • went back into cad and saw where i could remove the need for distinct screws since mcmaster screws have MOQs of like 50/100 etc
    I had to remove a bunch of socket head screws cuz somehow they costed more than button heads? Lol
    Removed 12mm M4 socket head screws cuz 14mm countersunks could do and alr am buying those
    Removed 5mm socket heads and 8mm countersunk cuz 8mm button(which im alr buying) could still work
    Dropped 20mm m4 socket heads cuz im alr buying 25mm and that could work

On the topic od Mcmaster, I drovethere and did a will call so that iu didnt have to pay shipping so boom money saved

  • gobilda shipping costs like 70 bucks otherwise it takes a week 😔
    • got an equivalent pulley and bore reducer off of mcmaster
    • i have to 3d print all my shafts 💀might be wraps
    • all my beams have to be 3d printed and HAND TAPPED yo i might be cooked

But luckily other than that its going good :D wcp bearing doesnt cost too much but with corgi express shipping it was only 20 bucks and its 2-day!!!

Also my 3d printer wasnt working so I had to outsource to printing legion but its allg should come by friday

At the end of the day, i was able to order everything so im happy about that! Cant wait to start build!

TIME SPENT: 3 Hours 30 Minutes
