What happens here

During the initial assembly, a design modification is identified. The pivot point for the attachment needs adjustment. One of the steel components is modified by cutting 1/4 inch off the side and rounding it to ensure proper fit and function. Grinding is used to refine these adjustments. This highlights the iterative nature of design and fabrication, where real-world constraints can necessitate changes from the original CAD model.

Goal: Adapt the design based on physical assembly challenges

Tools and materials

  • Angle Grinder DeWalt — Cutting and grinding the steel component
  • Safety Glasses — Eye protection during grinding
  • Vise — Securing the component during grinding

this is the first time that this thing has ever been put together so a lot of the concepts and ideas well the whole thing is basically nothing more than a concept that means that some of the things the way they were drawn on paper couldn't actually be applied in real life meaning we had some field modifications better well i bet it's worse fenders that doesn't matter all right uh we're doing good on time it's not even 11 right dang so we've already got the whole bottom already packed together what was the incident um we're gonna have to put a little bit off we're gonna cut a quarter inch up here and then round this off and get around that deal oh to get around the bracket yep okay makes sense i say that like i know what i'm talking about sure yes that makes sense just not in a group
