Main Structural Spindle
The 10.5in billet 6061 Alu main spindle was machined by our partner Rapid Axis.
The large surface area with the spindle and the frame allows the spindle to distribute loads better, reducing material deformation in an impact. The side tabs of the spindle support the inner cross structure improving the structural integrity of the whole frame and reducing the loads on weaker welded portions of the frame.
Prototyping the frame and spindle
Prototyping the frame and spindle allowed me to identify problems with clearance, order of assembly, and CAD design issues.
