Work process
Fiber laser cutting:
Two sheets: 12 * 24″ (16 Ga.) 304 #4 Brushed Finish.
Roll the sheets:
3D printing models help me bending the sheets, because of its special shape, it cannot be bent with sheet rolller, only steel tubes can be bent.
Bend the sheets:
I used different bending methods depending on the size of the part and the Angle of bending.
Welding and Grinding:
The standard version uses spot welding and welding, while the Pro version only uses welding. After welding, angle grinding is performed.
Fill in the gaps & spray paint:
Use bondo to fill gaps, sand and spray paint.
Bending steel robs:
Bending, cutting, welding. more info coming soon…
3d printing, soldering iron:
Switch above: used to change the energy source.
Below the mother board: for the front switch.
