Perhaps if i feel like picking it up again. Sorry if that's nebulous answer, but I have to be personally interested in a particular design to want to commit a lot of time and energy into it.I have brought this up with w360, and he's less concerned with the products he manages competing with eachother as he is in achieving greater sales volume in order to be able get bigger production orders. Because right now, the factories and suppliers he approaches are basically brushing him off when he comes to them with a production inquiry for a part order quantity in the hundreds or low thousands. These guys all want order counts in the tens to hundreds of thousands, which isn't feasible at the current sales volumes.Problem is they're not really close to being finished, and probably not that useful because of it. It's not uncommon to totally restructure the chassis at least once during development, and this never made it that far.I'd suggest reading through Aibohphobia's STX160 project log for some of the finer details of sheet metal design. Also check out the guides in the resource section.
